1. Heat a 12" skillet on your stovetop over medium-high heat. Prep your vegetables according to ingredient instructions.
2. Add your chicken thighs and bacon slices to your warm skillet and cook for about 12 minutes, flipping your chicken halfway and turning your bacon to brown evenly.
3. Carefully add the broth to the skillet; cover and cook another 3 to 5 minutes more or until chicken is tender and no longer pink (160 degrees F).
