Instructions

1. 1

   Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season with Italian seasoning. Season with salt and pepper.

2. 2

   Combine 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon unsalted butter in a large, non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

3. 3

   When oil is hot and butter is bubbling, add chicken thighs and cook until browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Turn chicken, reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook until juices no longer run pink, about 5 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

4. 4

   Remove chicken from the skillet, place on a serving platter, and keep warm.

5. 5

   To the same pan, over medium high heat, add remaining olive oil and butter, and allow butter to melt. Stir in onions and red pepper flakes and cook 1 to 2 minutes, then add mushrooms and bell peppers. Cook an additional 2 minutes, stirring frequently.

6. 6

   Add broccoli florets, zucchini, and carrots. Cook, stirring, 1 to 2 minutes.

7. 7

   Add asparagus, tomatoes, and garlic; cook until garlic is fragrant, about a minute.

8. 8

   Pour in chicken broth and allow to come to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and stir in peas. When broth is lightly bubbling, add cream slowly, stirring, and stir in Parmesan cheese.

9. 9

   To serve place 2 chicken thighs on each plate and top with vegetables and Parmesan cream. Garnish with fresh flat-leaf parsley. Serve warm.
