Ingredients
- 1 whole chicken cut into 8 pieces
- 1 teaspoon Sea Salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 cup Wondra flour for dredging
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 tablespoons butter divided
- 1 head garlic cloves peeled
- ½ cup dry white wine
- 1 tablespoon Better than Bouillon Chicken Base
- 1 tablespoon grainy mustard
- ½ teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 tablespoons fresh Parsley chopped
- ¼ pound bacon cut into small pieces and fried crisp
Instructions
- Fry bacon until very crispy, drain on paper towels and set aside for later.
- Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper. Dredge each piece in flour, ensuring a light, even coating. Shake off any excess flour.
- Heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, sauté the chicken for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown.
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
- Lower the heat to medium and add the remaining butter to the pan. Once melted, add the garlic cloves and sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the garlic is lightly browned.
- Deglaze the pan by adding ½ cup of white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
- Stir in the chicken bouillon, grainy mustard, and lemon juice. Bring the mixture to a boil and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing it to slightly thicken.
- Add the cream, half of the parsley, and the dried thyme to the pan, then return the chicken to the skillet. Continue cooking for another 20 minutes (for bone-in chicken), or until the sauce has reduced and the chicken is fully cooked. The sauce should lightly coat the back of a spoon.
- Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if necessary.
- Garnish with the remaining fried crumbled bacon and parsley and serve.
