Instructions

Step one

Season chicken thighs with salt and black pepper on both sides. 

Step two

Add bacon into a large skillet over medium heat, cook until fat is rendered, and bacon is crisp.  Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel lined plate.  

Step three

Add chicken into the pan and sear until golden on both sides, remove from the pan.  

Step four

In the same pan, sauté the onion, carrots, mushrooms, and garlic.  Cook until onions get translucent, about 7-8 minutes. 

Step five

Pour in half of the 28oz can of Tuttorosso San Marzano Hand Crushed Tomatoes in Puree.  Add red wine and simmer the sauce for about 5 minutes.  

Step six

Add bacon and chicken into the sauce.  Add the pearl onions and the bouquet garni. 

Step seven

Cover pan and transfer into a preheated oven at 400°F for 1 hour.  Uncover the pan for the last half hour so the chicken gets golden brown.  

Step eight

Serve with boiled potatoes, mashed potatoes, polenta or pasta.
