Creamy Dijon Chicken Thighs with Bacon and Spinach

This was so flavorful! Followed exactly, except after cooking chicken, I cubed it. This recipe took me about 45 mins, but worth it. Will make again.

This was so delicious! Very different combination of ingredients that came together to a delicious dinner! Took a little time to make but was well worth it!

This was delicious. I will definitely make again. The only change I made was I substituted pork chops for the chicken thighs.

A favorite

Season chicken with seasoning salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil a large pan or skillet over medium-high heat and cook chicken until crispy and cooked through (about 8 minutes each side, depending on thickness). Transfer to a plate; set aside. To the same pan or skillet, add the bacon and fry until crispy. Transfer to plate, set aside. Drain some of the bacon fat, leaving about 2 tablespoons. Heat butter in the pan and sauté onion until transparent. Sauté garlic, parsley, thyme and rosemary for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add in the white wine to deglaze the pan while scraping up any bits from the bottom of the pan; simmer for 3-4 minutes or until wine has reduced by half. Pour in cream and Dijon, mix through and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat and cook gently for a further minute to allow the sauce to thicken. Add the Parmesan and allow to melt through the sauce. Season with bullion powder and pepper, to taste. Add the spinach and allow to wilt. Return chicken to the skillet. Top with the crispy bacon. Sprinkle with extra herbs if desired. Serve immediately.

It tastes okay, so I may do it again someday, but with my own cooking instructions. I don't typically cook chicken thighs on the stove top because they don't cook all the way through. I thought this might be different. I cooked these for longer than the recipe suggested, and more after the sauce was done, but they were all still raw inside. Right down to the smallest one. I do like the flavors, so I may brown the chicken in a pan, then transfer to the oven on the future.

Rich but nice with Basmati and a fresh green salad

So so easy to make, was really interested in this recipe because ive never seen a cream mustard sauce before. Thats mainly what I really took away from the recipe. Everything else I taliored to my families likings. (No bacon because we eat that most mornings, chicken stock &lemon in replacement for wine, added multi'peppercorns for abit of bite along with a ton of other spices for the chicken. (Picture is Mid cook)

The bacon addition is what really made the dish.

A nice dish, very hearty. We chose to serve it over rice.

Tasty is easy to make even though I did forget to put the cheese in. I remembered that just as I finished eating, I will have to remember next time

Easy and delicious! Family loved it.

Paired it with fettuccine, and it tastes great! Genuinely can’t think of anything wrong with it that wasn’t probably our fault, haha

I didn’t have half and half so I used regular milk with corn starch to thickin it and then I didn’t have regular white wine I had some Asian type wine which is stronger but I didn’t think twice so the end result there was too much wine still in it taste wise and that but we did eat it , it was good just something I’d have to make again with all the right ingredients lol

I used sour cream instead of normal cream and also steamed some broccoli which I substituted for the spinach. Was a hit with the family

I thought this tasted great, but agree with others that the amount of cream a bit excessive. I say this as someone who loves creamy sauces. Would probably lighten with milk and some cornstarch in future.

Good for instapot! 10-12min on poultry

Added some mushrooms. Rest of the recipe was done exactly and came out delicious.

Perfection. Followed the recipe except used tarragon instead of rosemary; otherwise, I wouldn't change a thing. Delicious!

Delicious! However, it took over an hour to make, after prepping all the ingredients, so plan accordingly. I doubled it.

Loved it! Used arugula instead of spinach because we had a bunch. Texture was the only difference and it worked great. Topped with more fresh shredded parmesan at the end. Will try with sundried tomatoes next time. NOTE: - It's not a quick dish. It took over an hour to make. I cooked some steps longer than called for because it wasn't enough time to get the right texture/ thickness to the sauce. - It says it makes 6 servings, I would argue that it's actually 3-4. We had a package of chicken thighs just shy of 2 pounds with three thighs in it. - Very rich and high in calories. I would like to attempt a lighter version using milk/ stock instead of whipping cream and thicken with a cornstarch slurry.

Absolutely amazing! A definite go to meal.

This was absolutely AMAZING and will be a new staple for me! Omg I can’t stress enough how delicious this was thank you for sharing!

Added sundried tomatoes

I thought it was good but nothing too special. I would make it again.

To clarify in the directions, you are supposed to leave the two tablespoons of bacon fat in the skillet. In other words, don't put the two tablespoons aside to use for later. In addition, I used seasoning salt and low sodium chicken stock and low sodium bacon. As others have said, it is still salty. I would probably not use seasoning salt next time and maybe even just very lightly salt the chicken. I definitely use less than a teaspoon of salt on the chicken. The recipe is okay, nothing to write home about. I also cooked the chicken in the air fryer to save some time. I prepared the bacon and the airfryer the day before as well. The day I made this, I only had to warm up the bacon and then as the chicken cooked in the air fryer, I started doing this sauce on the stove top.

Excellent recipe! Fairly easy to make, very tasty and yields many servings. It's very rich though, so be aware (not that the ingredients aren't a tipoff).

I'm full :)

Chicken one pot wonder

Turned out a little too watery and would add more mustard and herbs next time. Served with mashed potato but could do with an additional veg such as broccoli

I skipped the bacon, and used yogurt instead of the cream...Yum

This was so delicious, but it didn't take 20 mins to make. I think it was closer an hour. But I will definitely make this again. Comfort food you could serve to guests. We served over rice and it soaked up all the sauce. Yum!

Added red pepper and sundried tomatoes

So good! We added a bit more cream and Parmesan to put over pasta. Also added red pepper flakes. AMAZING

Ideas to shake it up: add sun dried tomatoes, red pepper, cashew milk, serve with pasta?

Amazing! I used Honey Dijon. The white wine adds so much to the flavor! Hubby loved it! I doubled the sauce for extra to use on rice

So delicious. I baked the chicken and then sliced and stirred in after. Very easy recipe!

Excellent recipe! Lots of flavor! Served with farmers market corn and mozzarella garlic bread. Next time I'll dbl the sauce and serve over egg noodles.

We added in some red and orange bell peppers. Really kicked up the flavor. SO GOOD. This is a new favorite in our house!

Didn’t have bacon or spinach, had 3 1/2 pounds of thighs, substituted home-made chicken broth for white wine, added cup of pasta water, served with angel hair pasta. Still a favorite creamy chicken thigh and pasta recipe!

Too much onion, thyme, rosemary

Creamy. Flavorful. Yum. I tweaked a few things here and there. Added diced tomatoes.

Used milk instead of heavy cream

It looked good, had some good flavours, but it was too much on the heavy side for me. Maybe using double cream was the issue. Anyway, I wouldn't make it again.

This was really delicious! It's on my monthly rotation. I used single cream so I didn't get the thicker sauce, but that didn't take away from the flavour for me. I didn't add the stock cube as it's a salty recipe. Just add more dijon if you fancy. Fyi- if your pan is big enough, cook the bacon and chicken together to save time.

Super good! Paired it with asparagus and white rice 😙 I added paprika to my sauce. Also didn’t use the white wine and came out perfect! I grabbed half and half coffee milk and cream and added corn meal to make the sauce thicken properly😃

Watch out how much salt is put in!

My family raved about this. The sauce is especially good and the chicken was tender and juicy.

Was delish! Was a little heavy to me, so maybe pair it with something light :)

Very good

This was a hit! Definitely added to the regular rotation at our house. Subbed White Wine with chicken stock.

Easy recipe, very tasty I will add more spinach next time .

This was extremely tasty, only thing I did different was add mature cheddar instead of Parmesan as I didn’t have any, my partner loved it and over ate as it was that good. Served it with mash, broad beans, broccoli and mange too

really lovely sauce
