Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 6 slices bacon
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 1 medium apple, peeled and diced
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 0.5 cup dry white wine
- 0.75 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon, crumble it, and set it aside. Reserve 1 tablespoon of the bacon grease for later use.
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
In the same skillet, heat the olive oil and reserved bacon grease over medium-high heat, and sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Transfer the chicken to a baking dish but do not clean the skillet.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the diced onion, cooking for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Stir in the sliced mushrooms and diced apple, cooking for another 5 minutes until they are tender.
Sprinkle the flour over the onion, mushroom, and apple mixture, stirring constantly for 1 minute to create a roux.
Slowly pour in the chicken broth and white wine, stirring to deglaze the skillet and form a smooth sauce.
Bring the sauce to a simmer, then stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese. Allow the sauce to thicken for 2-3 minutes.
Pour the creamy sauce over the chicken breasts in the baking dish, ensuring the chicken is evenly coated.
Sprinkle the crumbled bacon over the top, and bake the dish in the oven for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C).
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Serve the Country Club Chicken hot with sides like mashed potatoes, rice, or buttered noodles.
