Ingredients

  • 1 ½ pounds chicken breasts sliced thin
  • 8 lices uncured bacon chopped
  • 8 ounces baby bella mushrooms sliced
  • ½ yellow onion sliced thin
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • ⅔ cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup Parmesan Cheese grated
  • ½ cup white wine I use Pinot Grigio
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add the chopped bacon to a skillet over medium heat and cook until crisp.
  2. Remove the bacon and allow to drain on paper towels. Reserve half the bacon grease to use later, leaving half in the skillet. Add the chicken to the skillet, sprinkle with half the salt, pepper and smoked paprika.
  3. Sauté for a few minutes on each side, until the chicken is almost cooked through. It will finish cooking in the sauce.
  4. Remove the chicken and set it aside. Add in the butter and reserved bacon grease, then pour in the mushrooms, onions, remaining salt and pepper.
  5. Sauté for 5-7 minutes or until they start to caramelize. Push them aside and add in the garlic, then continue sautéing for another 10 seconds, making sure not to brown it.
  6. Deglaze the pan with the white wine (or chicken broth), scraping up the brown bits of flavor. Allow some of the wine to evaporate, then pour in the chicken broth, heavy cream and parmesan cheese.
  7. Simmer for 10 minutes uncovered, then add chicken and bacon back in. Simmer for another 5 minutes, then add in the parsley and serve.
