Introduction:

Prepare for a rich and satisfying meal that combines the tender juiciness of chicken with the decadent flavors of a creamy, bacon-infused sauce.

Preparation:

1. Cook the Bacon:
   • In a large skillet, cook the chopped bacon until crisp. Remove the bacon and set aside, leaving the bacon fat in the skillet for added flavor.
2. Brown the Chicken:
   • Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Add to the skillet with bacon fat and sear on both sides until golden, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
3. Sauté Aromatics:
   • In the same skillet, add the onion and garlic. Cook until the onion is translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
4. Make the Sauce:
   • Sprinkle flour over the onions and garlic, stir to coat (if using). Slowly pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring constantly. Bring to a simmer and let the sauce thicken slightly. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
5. Combine and Cook:
   • Return the chicken and bacon to the skillet. Simmer everything together for another 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is creamy.
6. Garnish and Serve:
   • Sprinkle chopped parsley over the chicken before serving to add color and freshness.

Conclusion:

This creamy bacon chicken is a wonderfully hearty dish that’s perfect for a cozy dinner at home. The creamy sauce not only enhances the chicken but also makes for a delicious accompaniment to pasta, rice, or bread, soaking up all that flavorful goodness.
