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!!
Absolutely lovely whole family really enjoyed it thanks for this recipe.
This was excellent! I added some onion and garlic just because and served with garlic mash and roasted veg. My husband said I could serve it at a dinner party!
Taste is great but the sauce never thickens!
This is an outstanding, restaurant-quality recipe. I’ve become addicted to it over the last year or so. The sauce is so good I could bathe in it. I added a few cloves of garlic recently but other than that didn’t change a thing. Try it. You’ll love it.
I am going to prepare this soon. Can you freeze this meal?
Yes, this will freeze well in an airtight container.
pretty fast to make and very tasty. I made a double portion with thighs and served it with brocolini and rice.
I will be making this for a company dinner! It looks delicious! What sides go well with this?
That is great to hear! Thanks for choosing one of my meals! I like to use a green salad, asparagus or even broccoli to go along with this. Mashed potatoes or rice is also another extra feel good side to go along with. Hope that helps! XOXO
It was delicious, served it with a jacket potatoe. Loved the balsamic in the dish. Will definitely make it again.
This was very tasty and so easy to make. My husband declared it delicious on the first bite. I used a fig balsamic and it was perfect. Thank you for a great recipe
Good overall concept. I don’t think the chicken broth is necessary, it gives too rich a flavor. Suggestion: saute a bit of onion, add mushrooms, saute and add some white wine to evaporate.
This was so delicious even my kids (6 & 15 yrs) loved it! It’s definitely going in my regular rotation. I did make some adjustments adding yellow onions to the mushrooms and using boneless skinless chicken thighs instead of breasts. The thighs stayed nice and moist with a crispy outside. I
also served it over pasta with a side of steamed green beans. Yummy!
That is great to hear! Thank you so much for sharing! XOXO
Really easy to do 3tsp is too much balsamic not as creamy as I thought it would be
