Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 (8 ounce) skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs
1 teaspoon paprika
salt and pepper to taste
4 slices bacon, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
⅓ cup low-sodium chicken broth
4 ounces sliced mushrooms
¼ cup heavy whipping cream
2 green onions, white and green parts separated and sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Season chicken thighs on all sides with paprika, salt, and pepper.
  • Cook bacon in a cast iron skillet or oven-safe pan over medium-high heat until browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from skillet and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Drain and discard excess grease from skillet.
  • Return skillet to medium heat and cook chicken thighs, skin-side down, for 3 to 4 minutes. Flip chicken over and place skillet in the preheated oven.
  • Bake until chicken thighs are no longer pink at the bone and juices run clear, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove chicken to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm. Remove all but 2 tablespoons drippings from skillet.
  • Return skillet to the stove over medium-high heat. Pour in chicken broth while whisking up brown bits from the bottom of the skillet. Add mushrooms and cook until soft, about 3 to 4 minutes. Pour in heavy whipping cream and whisk together until lightly simmering, then reduce heat to medium-low. Season with salt and pepper, if necessary.
  • Return chicken and any juices back into skillet; top with bacon and green onions. Serve immediately, spooning sauce over the chicken.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I often make a big batch of chicken on the weekend, and then I use it to make this dish during the week.

My husband, who is not a big fan of keto food, loved this dish. He said it was the best chicken he's had in a long time.

I used a low-carb Alfredo sauce instead of the heavy cream, and it turned out great. This dish is a keeper!

This is one of the easiest keto recipes I've tried. It's also one of the tastiest! I'll definitely be making this again and again.

I made this recipe exactly as written, and it was perfect. The only thing I would change next time is to add a little more salt and pepper to the chicken before cooking.

I served this dish over mashed cauliflower, and it was a perfect pairing. The creamy sauce and tender chicken were a great complement to the cauliflower's mild flavor.

I used a mix of chicken thighs and breasts, and it worked out great. The breasts were a little less flavorful than the thighs, but they were still moist and delicious.

I'm not a huge fan of chicken thighs, but this recipe changed my mind. The smothering process made them so tender and juicy.
