In a large skillet over medium, cook the chopped bacon until crisp. Remove to a plate and remove all but 1 tbsp of the grease.

Remove from heat and transfer the thighs to a glass or ceramic baking dish.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream cheese, whipping cream, and garlic. Spread over the chicken in the dish.
