Chicken Boscaiola

Ingredients:
– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 8 strips of bacon, chopped
– 1 onion, diced
– 2 cloves of garlic, minced
– 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
– 1 cup chicken broth
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
– Olive oil

Instructions:
1. Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. In a large skillet, heat some olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add chopped bacon and cook until it becomes crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pan.
4. Add diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet and cook until they soften and become fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
5. Next, add sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they are golden brown and tender, about 5-6 minutes.
6. Pour in the chicken broth and allow it to simmer for a few minutes to reduce slightly.
7. Stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese, mixing well to combine all the flavors.
8. Place the chicken breasts back into the skillet, making sure to coat them with the creamy mushroom sauce. Allow them to simmer in the sauce for an additional 5 minutes to soak up all the delicious flavors.
9. Sprinkle the crispy bacon on top and garnish with fresh chopped parsley.
10. Serve the Chicken Boscaiola hot over cooked pasta, rice, or with crusty bread to soak up the creamy sauce. Enjoy this comforting and flavorful dish with your family and friends!
