1-Getting started with this creamy one pot roast chicken is exciting because it’s straightforward and quick. Begin by seasoning your chicken to lock in those flavors. This step sets the foundation for a dish that feels gourmet but takes only about 20 minutes total.

2-First, mix the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and cumin. Rub this blend all over the 1.5 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken thighs. Heat the neutral oil in a large pan over medium heat and sear the chicken until both sides turn golden, about 5 minutes per side.

3-Next, in the same pan, melt the unsalted butter and add the minced garlic cloves. Stir for a minute until fragrant. Pour in the half & half and shredded parmesan cheese to create the creamy sauce, letting it simmer gently.

4-Then, add the seared chicken back into the pan with the sauce. Let everything cook together for a few more minutes until the chicken is fully done and the sauce thickens. Finally, stir in the finely minced cilantro and serve hot. This method keeps the chicken tender and the sauce rich, perfect for any occasion.
