1
Prepare the Chicken
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
2
Cook the Bacon
In the same skillet, add the bacon and cook until crisp. Remove the bacon from the skillet and set aside, leaving the drippings in the pan.
3
Sauté the Mushrooms
Add sliced mushrooms and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the mushrooms are browned and tender, about 5 minutes.
4
Combine Ingredients
Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet with mushrooms. Crumble the cooked bacon over the top and sprinkle fontina cheese evenly over the chicken and mushrooms.
5
Melt the Cheese
Cover the skillet with a lid and cook on low heat for another 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your Smothered Chicken!
