Cooking Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Generously season both sides of the chicken thighs with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  3. In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs skin-side down and cook for about 5 minutes until golden brown.
  4. Transfer the chicken thighs, skin-side up, to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for approximately 20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  5. In the same skillet, add sliced mushrooms and sauté until golden brown. Add chopped bacon and let it crisp up before pouring in the heavy cream. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce to simmer for 2 minutes.
  6. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the sauce and warm everything together for a few minutes.
  7. Plate the Chicken Thighs with Creamy Bacon Mushroom Thyme Sauce, garnishing with additional fresh thyme if desired.
