on Oct 14, 2016, Updated Sep 04, 2023 This creamy bacon rosemary mushroom chicken thighs is my new favorite recipe for all the right reasons – The sauce is creamy, smoky and so fragrant with rosemary and bacon, and it gets made entirely in one pan which is definitely win win when I’m thinking weeknight dinner. It gets that super crispy chicken skin from cooking in all that bacon fat and you get looooots of mushrooms in every bite.
Top Tips To Make The Best Creamy Bacon Rosemary Chicken Thighs
I would highly recommend using only chicken thigh pieces for this recipe. That’s because thigh pieces can withstand the high cooking temperatures and remain tender until the very end. Unlike breast pieces that tend to dry out and become chewy. I have used fresh rosemary for this recipe, but you can use dried or frozen as well if that’s more easily available to you.
What to serve this with
All we need is some steamed rice on the side. Yes, we are doing steamed rice instead of warm crusty bread although if you are a bread lover then this creamy bacon rosemary mushroom chicken can be a real winner with bread too. But I just love pouring all that sauce over rice and letting it all soak down to the bottom. Every bite is rice + creamy bacon rosemary mushroom sauce + chicken = heaven. And while I’m looking forward to all the biking and the chilly air hitting my face in the morning, I think I’m looking forward even more to some of this super creamy bacon rosemary mushroom chicken. Every weeknight dinner should involve some bacon, don’t you think? Dinner goals peeps.
