Rosemary and Bacon Chicken

Ingredients:

olive oil, for frying
250 g smoked back bacon, excess fat removed and diced
8 free-range, bone-in chicken thighs, skinless
1 large white onion, finely diced
1 garlic clove, minced
2 stems fresh rosemary, leaves picked and finely chopped
5 ml (1 teaspoon) dried oregano
80 ml ( 1/3 cup) white wine
325 ml (1 1/3 cup) chicken stock
125 ml (1/2 cup) fresh cream
125 ml (1/2 cup) full cream milk
30 ml (2 tablespoons) cold water
10 ml (2 teaspoons) cornflour
3 oil-soaked sun-dried tomatoes, roughly chopped
salt and black pepper, to taste
a handful flat leaf parsley, roughly chopped, to finish
lemon wedges, to serve

Instructions:

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a wide-based pan and fry the bacon until golden and crispy. Remove and drain on kitchen paper.
Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Brown on both sides in the remaining bacon fat. Remove the chicken and set aside.
Add a little more oil to the pan and sauté the onion until softened, about 6 minutes. Add the garlic, rosemary and oregano and cook for another minute or two. Deglaze the pan with the wine and reduce by half. Add the stock, cream and milk and bring the sauce up to a simmer. Add the chicken back into the pan. Cover with a lid and simmer for about 45 minutes.
Make a slurry with the cornflour and water, then add to the sauce. Simmer for several minutes until the sauce is creamy and thickened. Add half the bacon to the pan, along with the sun-dried tomatoes and mix in gently. Adjust seasoning if needed. Scatter the remaining bacon on top and finish with fresh parsley, if you like. Serve with lemon wedges on the side.
