Notes

I used about a pound of chicken thighs in this recipe. Anything around that mark (or even up to 1.5 lbs. or so) would work. I discuss more on why I chose this cut of chicken within the blog post.

Ingredients

  • 6 strips bacon chopped into small pieces
  • 6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 large carrots chopped
  • 10 ounces pearl onions peeled
  • 7 ounces button mushrooms (leave them whole)
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 cups red wine (I used Zinfandel)
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 2 heaping tablespoons tomato paste
  • 4 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch + 2 tablespoons cold water
  • Salt & pepper to taste
