Creamy Balsamic Mushroom Bacon Chicken
Winner winner chicken dinner! This was one amazing meal. I have made a lot of chicken recipes in my day so take it from me, this was fantastic! This dish has a whole lot of creaminess going on just the way we like it. But the added balsamic in the creamy sauce added this tangy delicious flavor to the sauce. It was such a delicious and unique combination.
The chicken gets pan fried to perfection and is tender and juicy. The added mushrooms to the cream sauce was just what it needed and the chicken is exceptionally good topped with the crispy bacon.
Cream Sauce + Balsamic + Mushrooms + Bacon. This is a recipe for perfection!
This meal tastes like it comes straight from a restaurant. The best part is that it is on the dinner table in about 30 minutes waiting for your family to devour. It only uses one pan which makes clean up a breeze.
This meal soared up to the top 5 best chicken recipes on the blog. The flavors were incredible. My family gobbled up the entire meal and couldn’t seem to get enough.
I know that your family will love this just as much as we did!

What did I just put in my mouth !?! I served over spinach to soak up the goodness, but it didn’t need it. To be honest, didn’t need the chicken either; I’d be content eating just the sauce like a soup. Only criticism would be portion control is definitely a problem for me. I could eat the whole thing by myself at one sitting
My husband and children absolutely love this and I have to make a double recipe when I make it for the family. I’ve made it several times and my smaller kids ask for that “mushroom chicken dish” and the in-laws call it that too! It is fantastic and if there are any leftovers it is fabulous even the next go around. It’s become a classic meal in our home. I love when you’re done cooking you put the skillet in the dishwasher and you’re done! Great recipe
Thank you!!
