Ingredients

1 ½ pounds - chicken thighs
1 tbsp - ghee or olive oil
1 tsp - garlic

1 cup - spinach
½ - white onion
1 ½ cups - chicken broth
½ cup - full fat coconut milk
1 tbsp - tapioca flour
1 tbsp - ground mustard

Instructions

Chop bacon into 1/2 inch pieces. In a large skillet over low medium heat, add bacon and cook until crispy. Then, remove to a paper towel. Leave 1 TBL of bacon fat in pan, discarding the excess fat.
Pat chicken dry with paper towels. After, season chicken with salt and pepper on both sides and add to the skillet. Next, add diced onion to skillet.
Cook chicken for 7-8 minutes each side or until cooked through. Chicken needs to be 165 degrees Fahrenheit in the middle to be considered fully cooked.
Combine all gravy ingredients in a mixing bowl and mix until smooth. Then, pour over chicken. Bring to a slight boil and then lower heat. Next, simmer for about 10 minutes or until gravy thickens.
Just before serving, add spinach to the skillet. Then, add bacon back to skillet. Stir to combine and cook for 1 minute.
Remove from heat. Enjoy!
