Main Ingredients

  • 4 pieces chicken thighs bone-in, skin-on
  • 8 oz bacon diced
  • 1 cup red wine preferably Burgundy
  • 2 cups chicken broth low-sodium
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 8 oz mushrooms quartered
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 0.5 tsp black pepper freshly ground
  • 2 tbsp butter unsalted

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
  • Season the chicken with salt and pepper. In the same pot, brown the chicken on both sides in the bacon fat. Remove and set aside.
  • Add olive oil to the pot. Sauté the onions, garlic, and mushrooms until soft.
  • Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir well. Gradually stir in the red wine and chicken broth, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pot.
  • Return the chicken and bacon to the pot. Add thyme, bay leaves, and butter. Simmer on low heat for about 1.5 hours or until the chicken is tender.
  • Remove the bay leaves. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
