Ingredients




Chicken thighs




  • 4 chicken thighs , skin-on, bone-in

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

  • salt and pepper

  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning dried thyme, oregano

















Mushroom sauce






  • 6 oz white mushrooms

  • 5 slices bacon cooked, chopped

  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

  • 5 sprigs fresh thyme





















Instructions






  1. Preheat oven to 350 F.

  2. Season both sides of chicken thighs generously with salt and
    pepper and Italian herb seasoning mix (usually a combination of dried thyme,
    oregano and other herbs). Heat vegetable oil on medium-high heat in a large
    skillet. Add chicken thighs skin-side down. Cook for about 5 minutes, on the
    skin side until nicely browned.

  3. Transfer chicken thighs, skin side up, to the foil-lined
    baking sheet and bake at 350 F for about 20 minutes or until chicken thighs are
    completely cooked through and no longer pink in the center.

  4. In the mean time, make the mushrooms sauce:

  5. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet on medium heat. Add
    sliced mushrooms (without salting – to ensure the mushrooms get caramelized)
    and cook on medium heat for about 3 minutes flipping once.

  6. Add chopped cooked bacon to the skillet. 

  7. Add heavy creamy, 1/8 teaspoon salt and snipped fresh thyme,
    bring to boil, stir, immediately reduce to simmer and simmer for about 2
    minutes on very low heat for flavors to blend and sauce to reduce a bit. Taste
    and add more salt if needed.

  8. When chicken is done baking and chicken thighs are
    completely cooked through, add cooked chicken thighs to the skillet and spoon
    the sauce and the mushrooms on top of chicken thighs.
