Step 1

Add the chicken, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a large bowl, then mix them until well-coated. Place a pan on a stove over medium-high heat, then heat the oil, and fry the seasoned chicken until cooked through and no longer pink.

Step 2

Set the cooked chicken aside on a plate, then add the butter to the same pan, let it melt, and add the onion and garlic. Saute them for a couple of minutes until fragrant and translucent, then add the chicken stock, lemon juice, hot pepper flakes, and thyme, and stir them again until well combined.

Step 3

Pour in the heavy cream while stirring consistently, then put the chicken back into the pan, and lower the heat. Spoon some of the sauce and baste the chicken, then let it simmer for a few minutes, and garnish with fresh thyme. Serve and enjoy!
