A comforting dish featuring juicy chicken breasts smothered in a rich, creamy sauce with crispy bacon, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
  • 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Sear the chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Cook them until they turn golden brown, about 5-7 minutes on each side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  2. Sauté the vegetables: In the same skillet, add the diced onion and sliced mushrooms. Sauté until the onions are translucent and mushrooms are tender, which should take about 5 minutes.
  3. Add garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until it becomes fragrant.
  4. Make the sauce: Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Allow the mixture to simmer and thicken slightly.
  5. Return the chicken: Add the chicken breasts back to the skillet, smothering them in the sauce. Cover and cook for another 10-15 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked through.
  6. Serve: Plate the chicken drizzled with the creamy gravy, topped with crumbled bacon and freshly chopped parsley.

Notes

To elevate your dish, serve over rice or mashed potatoes and pair with steamed broccoli or a crisp side salad.
