How To Make Skillet Creamy Chicken And Bacon
Start by frying your bacon in a skillet over medium high heat until it is done and crispy. Cut bacon into pieces with kitchen scissors or a knife and set aside. Leave about 4 Tbsp. bacon fat in your skillet. Prepare chicken by seasoning both sides of the boneless skinless chicken breasts with garlic powder and pepper if desired. Once seasoned, coat both sides of the chicken breasts in flour. Add the flour coated chicken to your skillet with bacon fat, and cook chicken through until it is a golden brown color and no longer pink. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
How To Make Creamy Sauce
Once Chicken is cooked and removed from skillet, it is time to prepare your creamy sauce. Wipe skillet clean and add chicken broth, butter and lemon juice. Bring to a boil and let cook for 2-3 minutes. Stir in heavy whipping cream and cook for 3-4 minutes until sauce starts to bubble and become creamy. Add chicken and bacon back into skillet and cook for another 5-6 minutes or until sauce is thick and creamy.
