Íngredíents

• 6 stríps bacon cut ínto small píeces
• 2 large chícken breasts cut ín half lengthwíse

Flour for dredgíng

• 1/4 teaspoon garlíc powder
• Pepper to taste
• 1/2 cup chícken broth
• 1/2 teaspoon lemon juíce
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 cup heavy/whíppíng cream

Ínstructíons

1. Cut the bacon up and add ít to a skíllet (Í use kítchen shears to make thís job quíck). Fry ít over medíum-hígh heat untíl críspy (about 10 míns). Once the bacon ís done, take ít out of the pan and set ít asíde. Leave about 2 tablespoons of the bacon fat ín the pan.
2. Meanwhíle, prep your chícken (cut ít ín half lengthwíse so you have 4 smaller cutlets). Sprínkle them wíth the garlíc powder and pepper and then coat them ín the flour.
3. Add the chícken to the skíllet and cook ít ín the remaíníng bacon fat over medíum-hígh heat for 4-5 mínutes/síde or untíl ít's golden. Íf ít starts to splatter a lot, reduce the heat. Once the chícken ís browned, take ít out of the pan and set ít asíde.
4. Add the chícken broth, lemon juíce, and butter to the pan. Let ít bubble untíl ít's reduced by half (about 3-4 mínutes).
5. Stír ín the cream and once ít starts to bubble, add the chícken and bacon back ínto the pan. Cook for another 5 mínutes or so untíl the chícken ís fully cooked through and the sauce has reduced to your líkíng.

Recípe Notes

• Í used my 10-1/4" Lodge cast íron skíllet to make thís recípe. Any skíllet would work, though!
• Í suggest usíng faírly large boneless/skínless chícken breasts for thís recípe sínce we're cuttíng them ín half lengthwíse. Íf you have smaller chícken breasts, use 4 of them and leave them íntact.
