Rub 1 t. minced garlic and lemon juice on the chicken; set aside.
Heat a skillet; add bacon; cook for 4-5 minutes until brown. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon; set aside. Leave all the fat/grease in the skillet.
Season the flour well with salt and pepper; dredge each chicken thigh lightly with the flour mixture.
Add butter to the skillet; place the chicken pieces one by one into the skillet. Fry on high heat for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken; set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining T. garlic and onions; stir fry until onions are cooked. Add bacon, oregano, salt, pepper and chicken stock; bring to a boil. In a cup, add 1 T. flour to 1/4 c. water; stir until there are no lumps; add to the skillet; stir continuously while bringing to a boil. The sauce will thicken up slightly.
Add in the chicken pieces; cover; cook for 20 minutes.
Once the chicken is cooked, stir in the fresh cream; add a little more stock, if needed. Adjust the seasonings; turn off the heat; stir in the parsley.
Serve hot.
