<\/p>\nThis creamy bacon chicken recipe is a decadent and delicious dinner that\u2019s easy enough for a weeknight and tasty enough for company. It\u2019s ready in about 30 minutes!<\/p>\n
For last-minute guaranteed amazing dinners the whole family will love, I highly recommend keeping chicken, bacon, heavy cream, and dry pasta or rice in your refrigerator and pantry.<\/p>\n
For someone like me who is very inconsistent in the meal-planning department of adulthood, I\u2019ve found this to be extremely helpful.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
6 strips bacon cut into small pieces<\/p>\n
2 large chicken breasts cut in half lengthwise<\/p>\n
Flour for dredging<\/p>\n
1\/4 teaspoon garlic powder<\/p>\n
Pepper to taste<\/p>\n
1\/2 cup chicken broth<\/p>\n
1\/2 teaspoon lemon juice<\/p>\n
1 tablespoon butter<\/p>\n
1 cup heavy\/whipping cream<\/p>\n
Cut the bacon up and add it to a skillet (I use kitchen shears to make this job quick). Fry it over medium-high heat until crispy (about 10 mins).<\/p>\n
Once the bacon is done, take it out of the pan and set it aside. Leave about 2 tablespoons of the bacon fat in the pan.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, prep your chicken (cut it in half lengthwise so you have 4 smaller cutlets). Sprinkle them with the garlic powder and pepper and then coat them in the flour.<\/p>\n
Add the chicken to the skillet and cook it in the remaining bacon fat over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes\/side or until it\u2019s golden.<\/p>\n
If it starts to splatter a lot, reduce the heat. Once the chicken is browned, take it out of the pan and set it aside.<\/p>\n
Add the chicken broth, lemon juice, and butter to the pan. Let it bubble until it\u2019s reduced by half (about 3-4 minutes).<\/p>\n
Stir in the cream and once it starts to bubble, add the chicken and bacon back into the pan. Cook for another 5 minutes or so until the chicken is fully cooked through and the sauce has reduced to your liking.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
