Ingredients

  • 2 large chicken breasts
  • 1 TBS olive oil (you can substitute butter)
  • 1 TBS minced garlic
  • 6 TBS butter
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 2/3 cup chicken broth

  • 1/2 tsp pepper (divided, to taste)
  • 1 tsp salt (divided, to taste)

  • 1/4 cup cooked bacon pieces

Instructions

  • Cut chicken breasts up to 1/2 inch or 1 inch pieces.
  • Heat the oil over medium high heat in a large pan. Add in the chicken, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Allow the chicken to cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown.
  • Add minced garlic and saute for 1 to 2 minutes, with the chicken.
