Bacon Mushroom Chicken

This is a yummy recipe, that I love to serve with Lemon Garlic Roasted Potatoes (see next post)
everyone at my house loves this chicken.


INGREDIENTS: (Serves 4)
1/4 cup butter, melted
4 large chicken breast cutlets ( i usually do 6 breast and only increase the bacon)
Salt and pepper to taste
2 cloves garlic, pressed, divided
4 slices bacon (or use turkey bacon)
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
1/2 cup heavy cream OR light cream/ half and half)
COOKING INSTRUCTIONS: Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Pour melted butter into a baking pan or dish. Place the turkey cutlets in the buttered pan or dish. Add salt, pepper and 1 clove garlic over the top of the turkey. Turn cutlets over and add the other garlic clove and salt and pepper to taste. Place raw bacon on top of turkey cutlets, then top with mushroom slices. Bake, uncovered, for 20 to 25 minutes, or until cutlets are done. Remove turkey, bacon and mushrooms to a serving plate and keep warm. Pour juice from baking pan or dish into a saucepan and scrape up any bits from the bottom of the pan or dish (if you are using a metal baking pan, you can just use the pan right there on the stovetop and skip the saucepan). Add the cream and heat over medium heat, being careful not to boil the cream or it will break. Use a whisk to blend in cream. Pour sauce over the chicken.
