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
Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
