Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
2 pounds bone-in chicken thighs I use skin-on.
1 teaspoon Creole Seasoning
1/2 teaspoon ground thyme
1 teaspoon garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste
1 teaspoon olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup sliced onions I used a white onion.
1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
1/3 cup chicken broth

Directions:
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Ensure the chicken thighs are dry and season the chicken thighs with the Creole seasoning, thyme, garlic powder, salt and pepper to taste.
Heat a cast-iron skillet on medium-high heat. Add 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
When hot, add the seasoned chicken thighs. Sear both sides of the chicken, about 2 minutes on each side. The chicken does not have to fully cook through as it will be baked later.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
Add the butter to the pan. Use a silicone spoon or wooden spoon to deglaze the pan. Scoop up the brown bits from the pan. It's loaded with flavor
Add the onions and cook the onions until they are translucent and fragrant.
Lower the heat to medium-low and add in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Stir to combine for 2-3 minutes. Do not allow the sauce to boil.
Return the chicken to the pan. Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. Use a meat thermometer and ensure the chicken has reached an internal temperature of at least 165 degrees before removing it from the oven.
Cool before serving.
