Place the pancetta or bacon in a large Dutch oven over medium heat, and cook until browned, 5 to 7 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>2. Meanwhile, pat the chicken dry and season with salt and pepper. Push the pancetta and onions to one side of the pan. Turn the heat up to medium-high, add the chicken skin-side down in a single layer. Do it in batches to avoid crowding the pan, if necessary. Cook until the skin is crisp and golden-brown, 6 to 8 minutes, then flip the chicken over. Transfer the chicken to a dish.<\/p>\n<p>3. Add the shallots and cook another minute, until softened. Add the carrots, mushrooms, garlic and saute for about 3 minutes. Stir in the flour and tomato paste until completely combined, and cook for 1 minute, stirring occasionally. Slowly add in the wine and chicken broth. Then add bay leaves and thyme.<\/p>\n<p>4. Add the cooked bacon and chicken back to the pot. Continue cooking until the mixture reaches a simmer. Then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 60-80 minutes, until the chicken is tender and cooked through. Remove the bay leaves and thyme.<\/p>\n<p>5. Plate the chicken thighs and top with a ladle of the wine sauce.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>There you have it! A must-have French fall meal for the family (with an added wine bonus for you).
