Ingredients

For the Chicken:

  • 2 large chicken breasts halved horizontally
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon paprika optional
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter

For the Sauce:

  • 4 strips of bacon chopped
  • 2 cup2 mushrooms sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon flour for thickening
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

Prepare the Chicken:

  • Pat chicken dry and season with salt, pepper, and paprika. Lightly dredge in flour, shaking off the excess.

Cook the Bacon:

  • In a large skillet, cook chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove and set aside, leaving about 1 tablespoon of bacon fat in the pan.

Sear the Chicken:

  • Add olive oil and butter to the pan. Once hot, sear chicken for 4–5 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through. Remove and keep warm.

Cook the Mushrooms:

  • In the same skillet, add mushrooms. Sauté for 4–5 minutes until tender and browned. Stir in garlic and cook another 30 seconds until fragrant.

Make the Creamy Sauce:

  • Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of flour over the mushrooms, stir, then gradually pour in chicken broth and cream. Stir until smooth and slightly thickened.

Add Parmesan and Bacon:

  • Stir in Parmesan cheese and cooked bacon. Simmer 2–3 minutes until the sauce is rich and creamy.

Combine Everything:

  • Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning sauce and mushrooms over the top. Simmer for 2–3 minutes more.

Garnish and Serve:

  • Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve hot over mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta.
