Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breasts
- 4 strips Bacon
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips or bite-sized pieces. Season with salt and black pepper and set aside.
Cut the bacon into small pieces and mince the garlic cloves.
In a large skillet or sauté pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the bacon pieces and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Transfer the cooked bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain, leaving the bacon grease in the pan.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the chicken to the skillet. Cook for about 5-6 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken and set aside with the bacon.
Lower the heat to medium and add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to deglaze and release any browned bits. Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes to slightly reduce.
Return the cooked chicken and bacon to the skillet, stirring well to coat them in the sauce. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Serve hot on its own or over rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes.
