Ingredients
- 3 slices bacon
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into tenders and seasoned with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder
Sauce ingredients
- 1 tbsp butter
- 6-8 ounces mushrooms I used white mushrooms
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese finely grated
- chopped parsley or green onion for garnish
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add three slices of bacon and cook until crisp. Remove the bacon from the pan, crumble, then set aside.
- You should have about 1 tablespoon bacon drippings remaining. (Note: If there isn’t about 1 tablespoon of bacon drippings, add 1 tablespoon butter to the pan before adding the chicken.) To the bacon drippings add 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast tenders seasoned with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Cook for about 4 minutes on each side, until juices run clear and the chicken is cooked through.
- Remove chicken from the pan and set aside.
- Melt 1 tablespoon butter. Add in mushrooms and cook until tender.
- To the pan add 1/2 cup chicken broth. Bring to a simmer, then add 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream. Stir to combine. Allow the sauce to simmer for 4-5 minutes to thicken, then add in finely grated parmesan cheese.
- Return chicken to pan. Add in crumbled bacon.
- Garnish with finely chopped parsley or green onion.
