 Full Recipe:

 Ingredients 

• 6 strips bacon

• 2 large chicken breasts

• Flour, for dredging

• ¼ teaspoon garlic powder

• Pepper, to taste

• ½ cup chicken broth

• ½ teaspoon lemon juice

• 1 tablespoon butter

• 1 cup heavy/whipping cream

Directions

1. Cook the Bacon: Cut the bacon into small pieces and fry in a skillet over medium-high heat until crispy (about 10 minutes). Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate, leaving about 2 tablespoons of bacon fat in the pan.

2. Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts in half lengthwise to create 4 thinner cutlets. Season both sides with garlic powder and pepper, then dredge in flour.

3. Cook the Chicken: In the same skillet with the reserved bacon fat, cook the chicken over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

4. Make the Sauce: Add chicken broth, lemon juice, and butter to the skillet. Let it simmer until the sauce reduces by half (about 3-4 minutes). Stir in the heavy cream and cook until the sauce is bubbling.

5. Combine: Return the chicken and bacon to the skillet, simmering until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened to your liking.

6. Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve the creamy bacon chicken with your choice of side dishes.
