Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 Chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 6 slices Thick-cut bacon
- 2 large Yellow onions
- 4 medium Yukon Gold potatoes
- 3 Garlic cloves
- 2 cups Chicken broth
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 sprigs Fresh thyme
- 2 Bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season all over with salt and black pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large oven-safe casserole or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Place the chicken thighs skin-side down in the pot and sear for 5-6 minutes until golden brown. Flip and sear the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.
In the same pot, add the remaining olive oil. Cook the bacon slices over medium heat until crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Remove the bacon and let it drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Once cool, chop into bite-sized pieces.
Add the butter to the pot and melt it, then add the onions. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the potatoes to the pot and toss to coat in the onion-garlic mixture. Season lightly with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon.
Stir in the heavy cream, thyme sprigs, bay leaves, and chopped bacon.
Nestle the chicken thighs back into the pot, skin-side up, ensuring they sit atop the potato mixture.
Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.
Remove the lid and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes to allow the chicken skin to crisp up.
Remove the thyme sprigs and bay leaves before serving. Spoon the potatoes and sauce onto plates, top with a chicken thigh, and garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
