Ingredients

• 2 pieces Chicken breasts
• 4 strips Bacon
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 cup Chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips or bite-sized pieces. Season with salt and black pepper and set aside.

Step 2

Cut the bacon into small pieces and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

In a large skillet or sauté pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the bacon pieces and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Transfer the cooked bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain, leaving the bacon grease in the pan.

Step 4

Increase the heat to medium-high and add the chicken to the skillet. Cook for about 5-6 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken and set aside with the bacon.

Step 5

Lower the heat to medium and add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 6

Pour in the chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to deglaze and release any browned bits. Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes to slightly reduce.

Step 7

Return the cooked chicken and bacon to the skillet, stirring well to coat them in the sauce. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes to let the flavors meld.

Step 8

Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Serve hot on its own or over rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes.
