Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 chicken thighs, skin on
Salt and pepper to taste
1 large onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 cups chicken broth
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 sprigs fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
2 bay leaves
8 ounces bacon, cut into small pieces
1/2 cup frozen pearl onions
3 tablespoons butter, divided
3 tablespoons all purpose flour
Chopped parsley for garnish
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F . In a shallow dish, combine the flour and salt and pepper to taste. Dredge the chicken thighs in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and set aside. Reduce heat to medium and add remaining butter and olive oil to the skillet. Add bacon , pearl onions , bay leaves, thyme, tomato paste, garlic, onion, mushrooms, salt and pepper to taste; cook until vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes. Add chicken broth and white wine; bring to a boil then reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes or until sauce has thickened slightly. Return chicken thighs to the skillet; spoon some of the sauce over them so they are covered with liquid; cover skillet with lid or aluminum foil. Place in preheated oven for 30 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
