Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. Rub chicken pieces with salt, pepper, Dijon mustard, and smoked paprika. Marinate in the refrigerator for 3 to 12 hours.
  2. Heat avocado oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Sear chicken skin-side down for 5-8 minutes until golden. Remove and set aside, keeping oil in the pot.
  3. Cook bacon in the same pot until crispy, about 5 minutes. Add chopped onions and sauté for 4 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and thyme, cooking for 2 more minutes.
  4. Pour in white wine, scraping up brown bits. Let it simmer for 4-5 minutes. Add chicken stock and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Return seared chicken to the pot.
  5. Cover and simmer chicken on low heat for 45 minutes to meld flavors and tenderize.
  6. Remove chicken and stir in whole grain mustard. Simmer sauce for an additional 5 minutes and adjust seasoning as necessary.
