# Steps:
01 - Pat chicken thighs dry and season both sides evenly with salt and black pepper.

05 - Pour in chicken broth and bring to a gentle simmer, scraping browned bits from the pan.

07 - Return chicken thighs to skillet, nestle into sauce. Cover and simmer 10 to 12 minutes until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
08 - Sprinkle chopped basil or parsley over the chicken before serving.
