Directions

Prepare Chicken: In a shallow dish, mix flour, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Dredge chicken breasts in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.

Cook Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sear chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in maple syrup, soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.

Combine: Return chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Sprinkle crumbled bacon over the chicken and cook for 2-3 minutes to heat through.
