Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned and crispy. (10 minutes) Drain bacon slices on paper towels, then crumble and set aside.

03

Step

Arrange potato wedges in an even layer on the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Season chicken thighs generously with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, then arrange them on top of the potatoes.

04

Step

Drizzle the chicken and potatoes with olive oil, ensuring everything is lightly coated. Sprinkle evenly with dried thyme and dried rosemary.

05

Step

Crumble the cooked bacon evenly over the top of the dish, creating a tantalizing, smoky crust.

06

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the centers (internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F) and potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork. (60 minutes). If the bacon begins to brown too quickly, tent the dish loosely with foil.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a minced shallot or clove of garlic to the potatoes before baking.
Feel free to substitute other herbs such as oregano or marjoram according to your preference.
For a creamier casserole, consider adding a cup of heavy cream or chicken broth halfway through the baking time.
Ensure even baking by cutting the potatoes into uniform sizes.
