Description

A delightful chicken dish in a creamy parmesan sauce, elevated by crispy bacon, perfect for impressing loved ones.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
  • 4 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Sear the chicken in olive oil over medium heat, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook for 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown, then set aside.
  2. Create the sauce by sautéing garlic in the same skillet, then adding chicken broth and heavy cream, bringing to a gentle simmer.
  3. Melt in parmesan cheese until it creates a smooth sauce.
  4. Combine the chicken with the sauce and top with crumbled bacon, letting it simmer for 5 minutes.
  5. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

For a lighter option, substitute turkey bacon and use coconut cream for a dairy-free dish.
