This creamy bacon chicken recipe is a decadent and delicious dinner that’s easy enough for a weeknight and tasty enough for company. It’s ready in about 30 minutes!
I probably don’t have to sell you too hard, but chicken with bacon and cream is a great combo! Even my cream-loathing husband said it was really tasty. The chicken is pan-fried to a golden brown on the outside and when you bite into it, it melts in your mouth. And the bacon… well it makes everything even better. 😉
When you want comfort food (calories be damned… and no, I did not calculate them lol), this is your dish.
My sister (the vegetarian) actually came up with the idea for this recipe. She’s like “Is it true that I can’t find a creamy bacon chicken recipe on your site?” And I was like “hmmm…. there’s a creamy chicken bacon gnocchi recipe on my site, but you’re right”. And so this was born. This recipe is straight out of the Salt & Lavender playbook… I have a lot of creamy chicken recipes. I list them at the bottom of the post if you want to take a look.
How to make chicken with a creamy bacon sauce
- Fry the bacon pieces until crispy then take them out of the pan;
- Cook your flour-coated chicken cutlets in the remaining bacon fat until they’re golden on the outside;
- Add the chicken broth, lemon juice, and butter to the pan and let it cook until it’s noticeably reduced;
- Pour the cream into the pan, add the chicken and bacon back in, and continue cooking for another 5 minutes. I like to add a sprinkling of fresh parsley, but that’s totally optional
