Directions

Prep 10 minCook 30 min
  1. 1

    Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 8 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate, reserving 2 tablespoons of bacon fat in the skillet.

  2. 2

    Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Increase heat to medium-high and add chicken to the skillet, skin-side down. Cook until golden and seared, about 5 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.

  3. 3

    Add red onion to the skillet and cook until it begins to soften, about 5 minutes. Stir in mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring often, until golden, about 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Stir in garlic, then add chicken broth, cream, Parmesan, thyme, and lemon juice. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes.

  5. 5

    Return chicken to the skillet and simmer until cooked through to 165°F and sauce thickens slightly, about 10 minutes.

  6. 6

    Chop the bacon and sprinkle over the chicken. Garnish with parsley and serve.
