Chicken Thighs With Cream and Bacon

This recipe is actually designed for the keto diet, but I didn't want to list it as such, as I do not want to condone keto in any way, just want to share this very tasty recipe.  I had seen a preview pic of it in an email and hadn't even noticed the title before clicking.  After reading the ingredient list, I thought it sounded great...and it was!  I would give it 9 out of 10--very good, would make again for sure.

Ingredients:

4 slices bacon, chopped
4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
kosher salt and coarse ground black pepper
1 small red onion, chopped
8 oz. button mushrooms, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 small bunch thyme
3/4 low-sodium chicken broth
3/4 c. heavy cream
1/3 c. grated Parmesan

Directions:

1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat.  Add bacon and cook until just crispy (around 8 minutes).  Use a slotted spoon to transfer bacon to a plate lined with a paper towel. 

2. Reserve around 2 T. of rendered fat in the pan.  Season chicken all over with salt and pepper and add to pan, skin side down.  Increase heat to medium-high and cook until golden (around 5 min).  Turn and cook on other side for around 5 min.

3. Transfer chicken to a plate and set aside.  Lower heat back to medium.  Add the onion to the skillet and cook until starting to soften.  Add mushrooms and cook until beginning to soften.

4. Add garlic, followed by remaining ingredients.  Bring to a simmer and continue to simmer for 5 minutes.

5. Return chicken to skillet and continue simmering for 10 more minutes (I think I actually went 15, just to be sure chicken was done). 

6. Remove from heat, stir in cooked bacon pieces, and serve.  Enjoy!
