Feast your eyes on this decadent chicken dish I recently created! Put your diets aside for a moment and let yourself indulge in the most flavorful chicken dish ever! Perfect for a date night in with your loved one or a Sunday family dinner at home. You won’t regret it!
You will need:
6 chicken thighs
4 chicken legs
1/4 stick of butter
3 Tbsp olive oil
1 1/2 cup of mushrooms, sliced
4 rashes of streaky bacon
1 shallot, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 cup white wine
1/2 cup chicken stock
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tbsp chopped parsley
1 Tsp salt
1 Tsp black pepper
A few sprigs of fresh thyme.
Start with butter and olive oil in your cast iron skillet. Best the pan over a medium high heat and once hot, add in your washed chicken seasoned with salt and pepper. Sear them on each side for a couple of minutes until golden brown. Now place on a plate and set aside. In the chicken juices and butter, add in your diced bacon and cook until crispy. Now add in your shallot, garlic and mushrooms and cook in the juices until the mushrooms are golden brown and the onion is translucent. Next, add in your white wine and reduce for around 3-5 minutes until all the alcohol has evaporated and your are left with just the flavor of the wine and hardly any liquid.
Now add in your chicken stock and heavy cream along with the chopped parsley. Then add the chicken back in to the skillet. Sprinkle with the fresh sprigs of thyme and place it in the oven at 375 degrees F for 25-30 minutes until browned, cooked through and bubbling.
Serve with roasted or mashed potatoes and a vegetable of your choice (or skip vegetables completely if you are feeling extra naughty)!
Voila!
