Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 6 pieces bacon strips
- 8 ounces button mushrooms
- 2 pieces garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the bacon strips and cook until crispy. Remove the bacon, crumble it, and set aside. Reserve about 1 tablespoon of the bacon fat in the skillet.
Add the mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for 5-6 minutes, or until softened. Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the skillet, cooking for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, chicken stock, and heavy cream. Pour the mixture into the skillet with the mushrooms and garlic.
Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer and return the chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for 7-8 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C).
Stir in the crumbled bacon and toss to incorporate. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve hot. Pair with rice, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
