Creamy French Style Chicken

Ingredients:

1 tsp ghee or coconut oil
4 rashers unsmoked back bacon, visible fat removed and chopped 650g skinless, boneless chicken thighs

2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
350ml chicken stock (made with 1 organic stock cube)

Add the carrots, stir and cook for 3 minutes or until fork tender.
Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the crème fraîche and serve.
