This is one of those dishes that is easy enough for mid week but fancy enough for a dinner party. The flavour of the sauce is incredible. It's got the chicken juices mixed in as well as bacon. A fully loaded one pan meal!

Cooking
- Potatoes.
- Cook potatoes in boiling water for 5 minutes, then drain.
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper and drizzle with olive oil.
- Chicken.
- Preheat oven to 190C/375F.
- Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper.
- Heat a large skillet / frypan over medium high heat.
- Add HALF the bacon and cook until lightly browned.
- Transfer bacon to a paper towel lined plate.
- Turn the stove down to medium.
- Add the chicken into the pan, skin side down.
- Cook for 3 minutes or until very lightly browned and chicken fat has "melted" into the pan.
- Turn the chicken over and cook for 2 minutes, then remove chicken onto a plate.
- Drizzle 1 tbsp of the fat in the pan over the potatoes, then pour off and discard the rest.
- Return the pan to the stove.
- Add the garlic and onion and cook until the onion is lightly browned and translucent - about 2 minutes.
- Add wine into the pan and scrape the brown bits off the bottom of the pan to mix in with the sauce.
- Bring to simmer and cook for 2 minutes or so, or until you can no longer smell alcohol fumes.
- Add the remaining Mustard Sauce ingredients and cooked bacon and stir to combine.
- Then add the chicken and potatoes back into the pan, sprinkle over remaining bacon.
- Bake for 40 - 50 minutes (no cover), or until chicken and potatoes are golden brown.
- Rest for 5 minutes before serving, garnished with fresh thyme leaves and/or parsley, if desired.
