Creamy Bacon Delight Chicken
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 slices of bacon (chopped)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or your favorite cheese)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 small onion (finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)
Instructions:
- Cook the Bacon:
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add the chopped bacon and cook until crispy. Remove the bacon and place it on paper towels to drain. Leave the bacon grease in the skillet.
- Sear the Chicken:
- Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. In the same skillet, add the olive oil (if needed) and sear the chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- Prepare the Sauce:
- In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until the onion is translucent.
- Add the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Let it reduce for about 3-5 minutes.
- Make it Creamy:
- Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Allow it to simmer for another 5 minutes until slightly thickened. Stir in the shredded mozzarella cheese until melted and smooth.
- Combine:
- Return the chicken to the skillet, coating it well with the creamy sauce. Sprinkle the crispy bacon on top.
- Serve:
- Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot over pasta, rice, or alongside steamed vegetables.
Tips:
- You can add vegetables like spinach or mushrooms to the sauce for extra flavor and nutrition.
- For a spicy kick, add some crushed red pepper flakes to the sauce.
Enjoy your Creamy Bacon Delight Chicken! It’s sure to be a hit at your dinner table.
