Keto Dinner | Creamy Mushroom & Bacon Chicken Skillet

Anytime I can use my chicken drippings to make a yummy pan sauce, I am one happy girl. The flavor in this Creamy Bacon & Mushroom Chicken Thigh Skillet is out of this world incredible. This is the perfect savory and healthy dish that will warm your soul on a cool fall night. Serve this creamy chicken over cauliflower rice and you have yourself a complete meal. 

I have recently been on a mission to recreate all of my favorite childhood meals in a healthy yet satisfying way. Honestly, this dish is so close to the original that I can hardly tell the difference. I get super excited when making an old meal in a new way that serves my families healthy lifestyle. This dish is so tasty that my 4 year old will eat it up and ask for a second helping. My main trick to this recipe is adding a little coconut milk and tapioca flour to the chicken broth. It makes it thick and like a gravy consistency.

This would make the entrée to serve with a simple green vegetable tossed in olive oil. Try it with roasted broccoli, kale salad, or simple pesto zoodles.

Then, we’ll cook the chicken in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken 5-7 minutes until the first side is golden brown. Flip pieces and cook the other side 3-5 minutes until it is golden brown as well.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Servings: 6 people

Ingredients:

Chicken Thighs:

• 2 small cans mushrooms
• 1/2 large sweet onion sliced thinly
• 3 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
• 1 tsp Pink salt
• 1 tsp pepper
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 2 pieces bacon chopped
• 5 medium chicken thighs

• 1 1/2 tbsp tapioca flour dissolved in 2 tbsp water

Instructions:

1. First, In a large skillet add olive oil over medium heat.
2. Second, Pat each chicken thigh dry using a paper towel then cover each thigh with mixture of the salt, pepper, onion and garlic powder.
3. Next, Add each chicken thigh to the skillet and cook until juice runs clear with no pink inside, around 8 minutes on each side.
4. Remove chicken thighs but keep the chicken drippings in the skillet. To this, add in pressed the garlic along with the sliced onions and 2 can of mushrooms.
5. Saute together until browned then add in the chicken stock along with coconut milk. Heat this together with the onions and the mushrooms.
6. Once combined, add the tapioca flour dissolved in water to the broth mixture and whisk over low heat until thick. This will begin to thicken as it heats up, it won't happen instantly.
