Marry Me Chicken

Ingredients:

6 slices bacon

3 tbs butter

2 chicken breasts (butterflied in half)

1 c flour

salt & pepper (to taste)

1 tbs smoked paprika

1/2 tsp cayenne pepper

3 tbs minced garlic

1 c chicken broth

1 c heavy cream

1/2 c sun dried tomatoes

fresh spinach (about a handful)

1 c grated parmesan

Directions:

1) Cook bacon in large skillet until perfectly crunchy. When done, set aside to cool on some paper towels. (When cooled, chop to bite size pieces.)

2) While bacon is cooking, add smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper to the flour. Mix.

3) Take your halved (should be very thin) chicken breasts, salt & pepper each side, then coat each side with flour.

4) In the same skillet bacon was cooked, add 1-2 tbs butter to bacon grease. Cook chicken, about 4 minutes on each side over medium high heat, a nice crust should form. When done, set aside.

5) In the same skillet, again, add the rest of the butter, minced garlic, and chicken broth. Deglaze the skillet. (The stove should be on about medium heat.)

6) Add heavy cream, sun dried tomatoes, spinach, parmesan, and bacon. Stir until it thickens up a bit.

7) Add the chicken back into the sauce and let it simmer for a few minutes.

8) Serve and ENJOY. This chicken pairs well with homemade mashed potatoes and roasted broccoli. Make sure to pour extra sauce over chicken when serving! It also tastes amazing as gravy on the mashed potatoes.
