Braised Chicken Thighs with Rosemary and Bacon image

Delicious and quick, with ingredients usually on hand. Very savory, and a good way to extend a recipe for a family. My husband absolutely loved this! He had seconds, I had to save a piece back for me to take for lunch to work! Good served with hot noodles or rice to absorb the sauce.

Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 slices bacon
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
¼ teaspoon minced garlic, or to taste
1 pound bone-in, skinless chicken thighs
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
½ cup chicken broth
½ cup tomato paste
½ cup white wine
¼ sprig minced fresh rosemary, or to taste
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Place bacon in a large frying pan and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned and crisp, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels and snip into bits.
  • Drain bacon grease from the pan and add olive oil and butter to the same pan. Add garlic and brown slightly over medium heat, 1 to 2 minutes. Add chicken, salt, and pepper; brown until chicken is staring to crisp but is not too done, about 8 minutes. Remove chicken and drain on a paper towel.
  • Drain most of the oil and butter from the pan, leaving just a small amount for flavor. Add chicken broth, tomato paste, wine, and bacon bits; bring to a boil.
  • Remove a small amount of boiling liquid to a bowl and stir in flour. Pour back into the skillet and whisk until it thickens, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in rosemary. Reduce heat to low and return chicken thighs to the skillet. Cover and simmer until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 20 to 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
