With only seven ingredients, this cast iron chicken thigh recipe is perfect for a weeknight when you’re short on time. It’s also delicious and elegant enough to serve at your next dinner party. This is a recipe you’ll return to over and over again! 

You don’t have to make this dish in a cast iron skillet, but if you have one, we recommend that you use it. Cast iron conducts heat evenly and can transfer directly from the stove to the oven (fewer dishes to wash!). When you brown the chicken on the stovetop first, as you do in this recipe, you seal in the juices and add a ton of flavor. Topping it with No-Dairy Vodka Sauce and finishing it in the oven is the pièce de résistance.

If you don’t have an oven-safe skillet, simply brown the chicken on the stove, then transfer it to a baking dish before moving it to the oven. Serve this chicken dinner with cooked cauliflower rice, zoodles, or steamed or roasted vegetables.
