Ingredients
- 2 chicken breast sliced horizontally or 4 small boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded thin (about 1 1/2 pounds
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 10 ounces cremini mushrooms thinly sliced
- 1 onion or shallot, chopped
- 2 tablespoons basil pesto
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano dried
- 1/4 teaspoon thyme dried
- 4-6 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/4 cup half and half or heavy cream, optional*
- 2 cups chicken broth low sodium, divided
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon +1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 4-6 Bacon cooked, crumbled, divided, strips
Garnish
- parsley fresh
- Parmesan Cheese freshly grated
Instructions
- Rinse and pat chicken dry then season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Once very hot, add chicken and cook 2-3 minutes or until golden, flip, cover, and reduce heat to medium. Continue to cook 4-7 minutes (depending on thickness) or until chicken is cooked through. Transfer to plate.
- Reduce heat to medium and melt 1 tablespoon butter in 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add mushrooms, and cook, stirring often, for 4 minutes then add shallots, pesto, oregano and thyme and cook another 3 minutes, stirring often. Add garlic and saute 30 seconds.
- Stir in 1 1/2 cups chicken broth, cream or half and half (optional), Dijon mustard and balsamic vinegar. Whisk cornstarch with remaining 1/2 cup chicken broth and add to skillet. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer, stirring occasionally until sauce has thickened. Add chicken back to skillet, stir in half the bacon and leave the rest to garnish.
- Garnish with remaining bacon. freshly grated Parmesan (highly recommended) and fresh parsley. Serve with/over noodles, potatoes or rice.
Notes
- *This sauce is still wonderfully flavorful without the half and half/heavy cream so if you want to save calories you can definitely skip it – but if you want to add some extra creaminess, its divine!
