Ingredients

• 2 pieces chicken breasts
• 6 slices bacon
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 4 cloves garlic
• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1.5 cups parmesan cheese
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken breasts with a pinch of salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside to rest.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and cook the bacon slices over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon and let it drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Once cool, chop the bacon into bite-sized pieces.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low and add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Slowly pour in the heavy cream, stirring constantly. Increase the heat slightly and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 6

Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese to the sauce, stirring until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth. Add salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 7

Chop the rested chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and add them to the sauce along with the chopped bacon. Stir to combine and heat for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Step 8

Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve over cooked pasta or vegetables.
