1cupcooked rice(optional - omit for Whole30 or Keto)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
In a large cast iron or other oven safe skillet over medium heat, cook diced bacon until crispy. Once crispy, place on a paper towel lined plate and set aside.
Place chicken thighs in hot skillet with bacon grease and season with half of the Italian seasoning. Cook for 2 minutes, flip and season with the rest of the Italian seasoning. Cook for 2 more minutes, and then place in the oven to bake for 20 minutes.
While the chicken is cooking, prep onions, mushrooms and garlic as noted above. Set aside.
When chicken is done, carefully remove from oven. Place chicken on plate with bacon, and set aside for a moment. Make creamy sauce by placing onions and mushrooms in pan. Cook until both soften.
Add coconut milk, minced garlic, salt, pepper and fresh thyme. Stir to combine everything. Then turn to low and add chicken and bacon back to the pan. Simmer for 3-5 minutes to marry all the flavors.
Plate with a bed of spinach, optional rice and creamy chicken mixture. Enjoy!
