How to Make Bacon Mushroom Chicken
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Arrange 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs total) in the baking dish, skin-side down. Sprinkle generously with 1 teaspoon seasoning salt and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder.
- Turn chicken breasts over, season the other side with seasoning salt and garlic powder. Lay 6-8 slices of bacon (about 4 oz) on top of each chicken breast.
- Sprinkle 8 ounces of sliced mushrooms evenly over the bacon.
- Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F) and juices run clear.
- Carefully remove the chicken, bacon, and mushrooms from the baking dish to a serving platter. Keep warm.
- Pour the pan juices from the baking dish into a small saucepan. Whisk in 1/2 cup heavy cream over low heat until the sauce has thickened slightly (about 5-7 minutes).
- Pour the creamy mushroom sauce over the chicken and serve immediately with mashed potatoes or rice.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
