Cut the chicken into pieces and season with salt and pepper.

In a large pot, heat olive oil and brown the bacon until crispy.

Remove bacon and set aside, then brown the chicken pieces in the same pot.

Add chopped onions, garlic, and carrots; sauté until softened.

Pour in the red wine and add thyme and bay leaves.

Return the bacon to the pot and bring to a simmer.

Cover and cook on low heat for about 1.5 hours, until chicken is tender.

Add mushrooms in the last 30 minutes of cooking.

Adjust seasoning to taste before serving.

Serve with crusty bread or over mashed potatoes.
