I want to talk about the brown film that sometimes remains on the bottom of the pan. Some people think this layer looks dirty and have told me to clean the pan better before taking a picture… I always find that a weird comment to get. I don't let such negative reactions fool me, I'd much rather hear from you how you enjoyed the dish!

A tasty chicken thigh recipe like this one is not complicated at all and is also relatively quick on the table. Also very good to keep if there is still something left. For example, you can warm it up for lunch the next day. I always try to eat warm here, but because of the photography I sometimes miss it.
Tips for the tastiest chicken thigh cream sauce
Be careful with salt: Bacon, broth and Parmesan cheese already contain salt. Be careful adding extra salt during cooking. Taste the sauce at the end and then adjust the seasoning if necessary

chicken thighs recipe
There is no pasta in the shopping list.
That's right, because that's not in this sauce, you make it yourself. But that can also be rice or baked potatoes, but just what you like. Gr Francine
Really delicious and simple. A lust for the eye. Tip: use less salt than you think you should use when preparing this recipe. You can always add but take out.
Hi Tom, salt can indeed be added to taste. In any case, there is salt in the cream and cheese so you can indeed add it at the end to taste. Gr Francine
Bizarrely delicious
Delicious !
