Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 6 slices Bacon
- 250 grams Button mushrooms
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Parsley (fresh, chopped)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season the chicken breasts with a pinch of salt and pepper on both sides.
In a large oven-safe skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Transfer the cooked bacon to a paper towel-lined plate and crumble once cooled. Set aside.
Drain most of the bacon grease from the skillet, leaving about 1 tablespoon. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sear the chicken breasts over medium heat for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and butter. Once melted, sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and stir well to coat.
Gradually pour in the chicken broth, whisking to combine and prevent lumps. Let simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 2 more minutes until the sauce becomes creamy and smooth.
Return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet, ensuring they are coated in the sauce. Sprinkle the crumbled bacon and shredded mozzarella cheese over the chicken.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve hot with a side of rice, mashed potatoes, or roasted vegetables.
