No bake dinners are perfect for hot summers!

 

 

This is one of those special dinner recipes that comes together so quickly, and yet somehow still tastes like a restaurant quality meal.

 

This dish is a one-pan wonder. Chicken thighs are browned and simmered in a rich sauce of rich creamy mushrooms, garlic and bacon. Did I mention the bacon? Who does want bacon, am I right?

Fresh ingredients make this dish really sing…

 

You are going to love this recipe because it tastes rich and deluxe — but is still easy enough to make on a weeknight. This creamy mushroom chicken recipe is your next favorite keto chicken recipe.

 

This simple recipe starts with skinless boneless chicken thighs. Could you use skin-on or bone-in chicken thighs? Sure!

 

For me though, I love how quickly the boneless pieces cook — and I’m all about saving time in the kitchen. Please don’t sacrifice flavor, by using breast meat!

Let’s talk ingredients:

• Chicken thighs, I used 7(for our family of 5)

 

• Fresh garlic. I buy the frozen dorot gardens brand. So easy, when you melt them they turn into a paste.

 

• Bacon. The real star, adds flavor and smokiness to it.

 

• Mushrooms. I like simple white buttons in the recipe, but any mushroom are still wonderful.

 

• Heavy cream and fresh Parmesan. Bring on the creaminess.

 

• Salt, pepper, and herbal seasoning to garnish.

 

• Fresh thyme. My favorite herb with poultry.

 

Remember!

Using the same skillet, cook the bacon until it just begins to crisp. Go ahead and scrape up all those brown bits — which will give the sauce such good flavor! And cook your chicken in it…..that’s the beauty of one pan cooking.
