This Amish Chicken Recipe is well-seasoned bone-in chicken thighs baked with a rich, creamy sauce for a hearty and comforting meal. It is a quick dish to put together and one that the entire family will enjoy! Serve it with a side of mashed potatoes and your favorite vegetable for a complete meal.
Ingredients & Substitutions
Chicken: I used bone-in chicken thighs for this recipe because they have a richer and deeper flavor. You could certainly use chicken breasts, but you may have to adjust the cooking time. Just make sure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F.
Seasoned Flour: Each chicken thigh is dredged in a seasoned flour mixture. You will need all-purpose flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. This will give the chicken a slightly crispy exterior and help thicken the sauce while the chicken is baked.
Sauce: Heavy cream, also known as heavy whipping cream, is mixed with water and poured over the coated chicken before it is baked. It adds moisture and a creamy element to the dish.
What To Serve With Amish Chicken
Amish Chicken pairs well with a variety of side dishes. Here are some options to add to the table for a complete meal:
