Method

1

Prep the thighs: remove skin/bones if necessary, and pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt, pepper, and a dusting of paprika.

2

Light dredging: toss the pieces in flour — this creates a crust and slightly thickens the sauce as it bakes.

3

Sear the thighs in a preheated skillet for 3–4 minutes per side until lightly golden (fully cooking through at this stage isn't necessary).

4

Make the sauce: combine sour cream, egg, cornstarch, salt, and pepper. Stir in the grated cheese (save half for the topping) along with minced garlic and herbs if desired.

5

Arrange the seared thighs in a baking dish. Pour the sour cream mixture evenly over them. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.

6

Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 30–40 minutes until the sauce sets and the chicken is cooked through (internal temp ~75°C/165°F).

7

Let the dish rest for 5–7 minutes, garnish with fresh herbs, and serve with your choice of side: mashed potatoes, rice, or a light salad.
