Ingredients

  • 4 slices bacon
  • 1 1/2 lb. bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 small red onion, chopped
  • 8 oz. mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small bunch thyme
  • 3/4 c. low-sodium chicken broth
  • 3/4 c. heavy cream
  • 1/3 c. freshly grated Parmesan
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon
  • Freshly chopped parsley, for garnish

Directions

  1. 1

    In a large skillet over medium heat, cook bacon until crispy, about 8 minutes. Drain slices on a paper towel-lined plate and reserve about 2 tablespoons fat in skillet. 

  2. 2

    Season chicken all over with salt and pepper. Increase heat to medium-high, then add chicken to skillet skin side-down. Cook until golden and seared, about 5 minutes, then flip and cook until seared on second side, about 5 minutes more. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside. 

  3. 3

    Add onion and cook until beginning to soften, about 5 minutes. Stir in mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until golden, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic then add chicken broth, cream, Parmesan, thyme, and lemon juice. Bring mixture to a simmer and let cook 5 minute. 

  4. 4

    Return chicken to skillet and simmer until chicken is cooked through and sauce has thickened slightly, about 10 minutes more. 

  5. 5

    Chop bacon and sprinkle over chicken before serving.
