Instructions
- Step 1: Wrap each of the 4 chicken breasts with 2 slices of bacon, securing with toothpicks if needed. Season with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
- Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon-wrapped chicken breasts and cook for 5 minutes per side until bacon is crispy and chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Remove chicken and set aside.
- Step 3: In the same skillet, add 8 oz sliced button mushrooms and 2 minced garlic cloves. Sauté over medium heat for 4 minutes until mushrooms are golden and fragrant.
- Step 4: Pour in 1/2 cup heavy cream and 1/4 cup chicken broth, stirring to combine. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
- Step 5: Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon sauce over them. Cook for 1-2 minutes to heat through.
- Step 6: Sprinkle 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley on top before serving.
