Chicken

Creamy Smoked Bacon & Mushroom Sauce

Yukon Gold Mash

Seasonal Vegetables

Method

Chicken Breast

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Season the chicken breast with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  2. 2

    Sear the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breast and sear for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Remove from skillet and set aside.

Creamy Smoked Bacon & Mushroom Sauce

  1. 3

    Cook the Bacon

    In the same skillet, add sliced bacon and cook over medium heat until crispy. Remove bacon and drain on paper towels.

  2. 4

    Sauté Mushrooms and Garlic

    In the bacon drippings, add sliced mushrooms and minced garlic. Sauté until mushrooms are soft and browned, about 5-6 minutes.

  3. 5

    Make the Sauce

    Add chicken broth and fresh thyme to the skillet. Bring to a simmer, then stir in heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens. Crumble the cooked bacon and stir it back into the sauce.

  4. 6

    Combine

    Return the seared chicken breast to the skillet and coat it in the creamy sauce. Allow to simmer for another 2 minutes.

Yukon Gold Mash

  1. 7

    Prepare the Potatoes

    In a large pot, add the cubed Yukon Gold potatoes and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 8

    Mash the Potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter, milk, salt, and black pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.

Seasonal Vegetables

  1. 9

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a separate skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the seasonal vegetables, season with salt and black pepper, and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until tender-crisp.

Plating

  1. 10

    Serve

    On a plate, serve the creamy chicken breast alongside a generous portion of Yukon Gold mash and sautéed seasonal vegetables. Drizzle additional sauce over the chicken if desired.
