• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil

📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Set aside.

2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown but not fully cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.

3. In the same skillet, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Remove the bacon, crumble, and set aside, leaving the bacon drippings in the skillet.

4. Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

5. Pour in the chicken broth and stir to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Let it simmer for 2 minutes.

6. Reduce heat to low and stir in the sour cream and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix well until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

7. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the tops. Cover and cook on low heat for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F / 74°C).

8. Sprinkle the crumbled bacon and fresh parsley over the chicken before serving.

9. Serve hot with your choice of sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or sautéed vegetables.
