CREAMY BACON CHICKEN

Steps:

• 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). 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.
• 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.
• 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's golden. 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.
• Add the chicken broth, lemon juice, and butter to the pan. Let it bubble until it's reduced by half (about 3-4 minutes).
• 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.

CREAMY BACON CHICKEN

Steps:

• Combine the sauce ingredients and set aside.
• Cut bacon into thirds and cook in a large skillet over low heat until crispy on each side. Set aside on a paper towel lined plate. Reserve 3 Tablespoons clear drippings to make the roux. Roughly chop the bacon once cooled.
• While the bacon cooks, slice the chicken to create 2-3 thinner slices. Place the chicken in a gallon freezer bag (or in between saran wrap) and use the textured side of a meat mallet to pound it to ½ inch thick. Pat completely dry.
• Season with Italian seasoning and salt/pepper. Place 1/2 cup flour on a plate and dredge each side of the chicken. Tap off excess.
• Heat olive oil in a large, high-walled skillet over medium-high heat. Sear 2-3 pieces of chicken at a time for 4-5 minutes per side, until a golden crust has developed. Set aside. Wipe any black residue from the pan but leave the brown remnants as this will add flavor to the sauce.
• Add the garlic and reserved bacon drippings to the same skillet that you cooked the chicken in. (Note: 3 tablespoons of butter can be used instead, or a combination of both if you don't have enough drippings.) Use a silicone spatula to "clean" the bottom of the pot over medium heat for 1 minute.
• Whisk in 3 tablespoons of flour and stir continuously for 2 minutes.
• Add the sauce mixture in small splashes, stirring continuously. (If you add it too quickly, the roux will "break" and the sauce will be thin.)
• Bring the sauce to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Let it simmer until it's near your desired level of thickness.
• Reduce heat to low and stir in the Parmesan cheese until smooth.
• Add the chicken back and spoon the sauce on top. Let it simmer for 5 minutes or so, uncovered.
• Top with chopped bacon and fresh parsley. Serve with mashed potatoes and roasted green beans.
