Time 2h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 ounces dried wild mushrooms (such as porcini or shiitake)
1 cup hot water
6 slices bacon
8 bone-in chicken thighs
¼ cup quick-mixing flour (such as Wondra®), or as needed
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 bunch carrots, cut into matchstick-size pieces
2 cups fresh mushrooms
½ pound shallots, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 (750 milliliter) bottle Burgundy red wine, divided
1 cup chicken broth
2 teaspoons herbes de Provence, tied into a cheesecloth bag
5 sprigs fresh thyme
3 bay leaves
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, or as desired

Steps:

  • Put dried mushrooms in a bowl and pour in hot water; set aside until mushrooms are rehydrated.
  • Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels, reserving bacon grease in the skillet.
  • Coat chicken thighs with flour and season with salt and pepper. Working in batches, cook chicken in the bacon grease over medium heat until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove chicken thighs as they brown and place on a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Drain dried mushrooms through cheesecloth, reserving liquid. Add drained mushrooms, carrots, fresh mushrooms, shallots, and garlic to skillet over medium-high heat; saute for 2 minutes. Pour 1 cup wine into the skillet and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon until liquid is reduced, about 10 minutes.
  • Return chicken to the skillet and mix in remaining wine, chicken broth, herbes de Provence, thyme, and bay leaves. Liquid should partially cover chicken; if more liquid is needed, add reserved water from mushrooms. Cover skillet and simmer over low heat until chicken is no longer pink in the center, at least 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Remove cover from skillet and simmer until sauce is thickened, about 15 minutes more. Add more quick-mixing flour to sauce to thicken, if desired.
  • Crumble bacon over chicken and vegetables and garnish with parsley.
