Ingredients:
Chicken thighs:
1 tsp Italian seasoning dried thyme, oregano
salt and pepper
4 chicken thighs, skin-on, bone-in
1 tbsp vegetable oil
Mushroom sauce:
1 c heavy cream
6 ounces white mushrooms
5 sprigs of fresh thyme
⅛ tsp salt
5 slices bacon, cooked, chopped
Directions:
For the Chicken:
Prepare the oven and preheat it to 175 degrees C or 350 degrees F.
Cover the inside of a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Sprinkle Italian herb seasoning mix, salt, and pepper over the chicken thighs. Toss until completely coated.
Place a large skillet on the stove and turn the heat to medium-high. Add vegetable oil and allow it to become hot.
Add the chicken thighs into the hot skillet, then sear each side for about 5 minutes or until they turn brown. Transfer them onto the prepared baking sheet and arrange them in a single layer skin-side up.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the chicken thighs for about 20 minutes.
For the Mushroom Sauce:
Place a large skillet on the stove and turn the heat to medium. Add vegetable oil and allow it to become hot. Add mushrooms, then sauté for a few minutes until soft.
Add the bacon, then cook for a few minutes as well until crispy.
Add freshly chopped thyme, 1/8 tsp of salt, and heavy cream. Stir and allow the mixture to boil.
Turn the heat down to low, then simmer the sauce for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat.
Remove the chicken thighs from the oven and put them into the skillet with the sauce. Toss to coat.
Serve right away. Enjoy!
