• 总时间: 11 minutes

配料

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

6 slices bacon, chopped

2 tbsp butter

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup heavy cream

½ cup chicken broth

¾ cup crumbled blue cheese

1 tsp Italian seasoning

½ tsp smoked paprika

Salt and black pepper, to taste

步骤

Season the chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and Italian seasoning.

Cook the bacon: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Transfer to a plate, leaving about 1 tbsp of bacon fat in the skillet.

Sear the chicken: Add the chicken and cook for about 5–6 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

Make the sauce: Add butter and garlic to the skillet. Cook for 30 seconds, then pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Simmer for 2–3 minutes.

Add the cheese: Stir in the blue cheese and cook until melted and creamy.

Combine: Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the sauce over it. Simmer for another 2–3 minutes.

Finish: Top generously with crispy bacon and fresh parsley. Serve immediately with mashed potatoes, rice, pasta, or roasted vegetables.
