Author Notes

This one transforms your chicken dinner into a spectacular dish! Imagine juicy chicken fillets simmered in a mouthwatering parmesan cream sauce, studded with earthy mushrooms and jazzed up with crispy bacon. Best part? It’s ready in about 30 minutes and you’ll only need one skillet. Pair with some crusty bread or buttery mashed potatoes, and don’t forget to throw in a side salad. —Anna Chwistek | Serving Dumplings

What You'll Need
Ingredients
  • 7 ounces salted bacon bits
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 4 chicken breast fillets
  • 1 teaspoon each: salt, black pepper - divided
  • 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
  • 9 ounces brown mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 6 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley, more for serving
Directions
  1. Get your prep done before you start cooking: season both sides of the chicken fillets with paprika, ½ tsp salt and ½ tsp black pepper. Thinly slice the mushrooms and mince the garlic. Chop the parsley.
  2. Heat a nonstick skillet over high heat. Add bacon and cook until crispy and golden brown. Transfer to a plate layered with a paper towel. Try to leave as much bacon grease as possible in the skillet.
  3. Add butter, stir until melted. Add chicken fillets and sear over medium high heat, about 8-10 minutes per side or until fully cooked and browned on both sides. This can vary with the size of your chicken. Remove from skillet and place on a clean plate. Cover with aluminum foil.
  4. Add mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture. Add oil and garlic, cook for 2 minutes. Stir in Italian seasoning and the remaining salt and pepper. Deglaze with white wine, while stirring with a wooden spoon to dissolve the browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Simmer for 2 minutes.
  5. Pour in cream and stir in parsley and Parmesan. Bring the sauce to a simmer, then return the chicken fillets to the skillet. Simmer for 3 minutes or until cooked through. Taste and adjust salt if needed.
  6. Finish off with bacon, parsley and freshly ground black pepper. Enjoy!
