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 the chicken thighs on both sides with salt, pepper, and Italian herb seasoning mix. Italian herbs are usually 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, and cook for approximately 5 minutes or until the skin side is nicely browned.
Step 4: To the foil-lined baking sheet, transfer the chicken thighs, skin-side up. Place in the preheated oven and bake the chicken for about 20 minutes or until cooked through and no longer pink in the middle.
Step 5: To make the mushroom sauce, heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for approximately 3 minutes, flipping the mushrooms once. Then, add the chopped cooked bacon followed by the heavy creamy, ⅛ teaspoon salt and snipped fresh thyme. Bring the sauce to a boil and stir. Once boiling, quickly decrease the heat to a simmer and cook for additional 2 minutes over very low heat so the flavours blend and the sauce have reduced a little. If needed, season with more salt.
Step 6: Add the cooked chicken thighs to the skillet once done baking and spoon the sauce and mushrooms over.
