Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Wrap each of the 4 boneless skinless chicken thighs (6 oz each) with 1 bacon strip, securing with toothpicks if needed. Season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
  2. Step 2: Place wrapped thighs on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes until bacon is crispy and chicken reaches 165°F internal temperature.
  3. Step 3: While chicken bakes, heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add 8 oz sliced baby bella mushrooms and sauté for 5 minutes until browned. Add 2 minced garlic cloves and cook 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Step 4: Pour in 3/4 cup heavy cream, stir in 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Simmer gently for 4-5 minutes until sauce thickens.
  5. Step 5: Serve bacon-wrapped chicken thighs topped with creamy mushroom sauce.
