KETO BACON CHICKEN THIGHS WITH GARLIC CREAM SAUCE RECIPE

The magical part of this recipe is that the chicken thighs cook in bacon fat, which means the crispy skin tastes like bacon. If you don't have bacon (and don't want to buy it), use olive oil instead.

3.  Add onion and cook until beginning to soften, about 5 minutes. Stir in mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until golden, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic then add chicken broth, cream, Parmesan, thyme, and lemon juice. Bring mixture to a simmer and let cook 5 minute.

4.   Return chicken to skillet and simmer until chicken is cooked through and sauce has thickened slightly, about 10 minutes more.

5.   Chop bacon and sprinkle over chicken.
