- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.
Step 3
Wrap each chicken breast with two slices of bacon, ensuring they overlap slightly to secure them in place.
Step 4
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
Step 5
Sear the bacon-wrapped chicken breasts in the skillet for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the bacon is golden and slightly crispy.
Step 6
Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 7
In the same skillet, sauté the minced garlic for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, making sure not to burn it.
Step 8
Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze.
Step 9
Stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese, allowing the mixture to thicken slightly.
Step 10
Place the chicken breasts back into the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over them.
Step 11
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C).
Step 12
Remove the skillet from the oven and garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Step 13
Serve hot with your choice of side dishes such as mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a side salad.
