Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts
- 4 slices of bacon
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Add them to the skillet and cook until golden brown and fully cooked through, approximately 6-7 minutes per side. Remove the chicken and set aside.
- Cook the bacon slices in the same skillet until crispy. Remove and place them on paper towels to drain.
- Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds, stirring frequently.
- Pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine, and allow it to heat up to a slight simmer.
- Place the cooked chicken back into the skillet, coating it well with the creamy sauce.
- Crumble the crispy bacon over the top of the chicken.
- Sprinkle with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve hot.
Notes
Boneless, skinless chicken breasts work best. Turkey bacon can be used for a lighter option. Half-and-half is a lower calorie alternative to heavy cream.
