Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Make a horizontal pocket in each chicken breast by slicing horizontally without cutting through the bottom, then gently open and set aside.
  2. Step 2: Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp (5-7 minutes), then drain on paper towels and crumble. Add mushrooms to the skillet with 1 tsp of the olive oil and cook for 5-6 minutes until golden and moisture evaporates, stirring occasionally.
  3. Step 3: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup heavy cream, minced garlic, 1 tbsp thyme, 1 tsp Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  4. Step 4: Stuff each chicken breast with half the mushroom mixture and half the crumbled bacon, then secure with toothpicks. Place in a baking dish and pour the cream sauce evenly over the top.
  5. Step 5: Bake for 20-22 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) internally and the sauce is bubbling around the edges.
  6. Step 6: Sprinkle with 2 tbsp grated Parmesan and broil for 1-2 minutes until golden brown, watching closely to prevent burning.
