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!

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
This is delicious!! Can you make this in a crockpot? If so how long and what temp
Yes, that sounds great! I would recommend 4 to 6 hours on low. Hope you enjoy it! XOXO
I tried the balsimc mushroom bacon chicken and my sauce came out alot darker then what is pictured. What did I do wrong?
I hope it still tasted great! Sometimes the flavors and colors do change per dish. I am sorry it makes you nervous. Thanks for trying it out and letting me know! XOXO
Hi , not sure if i am cooking the mushroom in the bacon grease or not. it doesnt say whether to leave the grease
You will want to drain the grease. Thank you for asking and following along with me! XOXO
Made this for a family dinner celebration. I have a family of foodies and they rated this high on their scale of favorite recipes. Definitely a keeper.
this is excellent. I made this twice. The first time I followed the recipe exactly; the second time I used boneless/skinless chicken thighs, . As much as I love the skin, felt it might be too fatty for this already creamy dish. I increased the stock/cream/cheese just by a bit because I like the extra sauce. Really love the dish. I made a snap peas/ green beans / snow peas / mint salad on the side to balance the dish. Great recipe. Thank you.
