Serves: 4

Ingredients

For The Chicken

  • 2 large boneless and skinless chicken breasts, halved horizontally to make 4 filets
  • 2 heaping tablespoons flour (all purpose or plain)
  • 3 tablespoons finely grated fresh Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Cracked pepper

For The Sauce

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons butter (or sub with oil)
  • 8-ounces | 250 grams bacon, trimmed of fat and cut into strips (I use shortcut bacon in Australia)
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 6 large cloves garlic, minced or finely chopped
  • 1-1/2 cups half and half (or use reduced-fat cream or evaporated milk)*
  • ½ cup finely grated fresh Parmesan cheese
  • ½ teaspoon cornstarch (cornflour) mixed with 2 teaspoons of water

Preparation Instructions

  • Coat the chicken with pepper and salt, as per taste. Add flour and parmesan cheese and dress up the chicken pieces generously.
  • Take a nonstick pan and add some oil and butter to it. Put it on medium-high heat until they melt and mix together. Put the chicken and roast it till it turns golden brown in color. 5-6 minutes of roasting, per side, will do the trick. Once done, put the pieces to a plate.
  • Take some bacon strips and fry till they become crispy. Pour away the excess oil from the pan, leaving just a spoonful worth. Now, add chopped garlic and onion and fry them for about a minute or two. Reduce the heat and add cream. Stir for few moments and add pepper and salt to the taste. in the end, add parmesan cheese and mix till it melts. If the sauce gets too thin, you can add cornstarch/water mixture to make it thicker.
  • Your yummy chicken is ready to serve!
