How to make Chicken Thighs with Creamy Bacon Mushroom Thyme Sauce
Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 350 degrees F.
Step 2: Generously season all sides of the chicken thighs with salt, pepper, and Italian herb seasoning mix (a mixture of dried thyme, oregano, and other herbs).
Step 3: In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken thighs to the skillet, skin-side down. Sear the chicken for approximately 5 minutes until nicely browned.
Step 4: To the foil-lined baking sheet, transfer the chicken thighs, skin-side up. Continue baking for additional 20 minutes at 350 degrees F or until cooked through and the chicken thighs are no longer pink in the middle.
Step 5: To make the mushroom sauce, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Add the sliced mushrooms to the hot oil and cook for approximately 3 minutes, flipping once. Then, add the chopped bacon.
Step 6: To the skillet, add the heavy creamy, ⅛ tsp salt and snipped fresh thyme. Bring everything to a boil and stir. Once boiling, quickly decrease the heat and simmer for about 2 minutes until the sauce has reduced a little and the flavours blend. If needed, add more salt to the sauce.
Step 7: Add the cooked chicken thighs to the skillet and spoon the sauce and mushrooms over.
