Sweet maple garlic bacon chicken

Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
Salt and pepper, to taste
6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
2 tbsp olive oil

For the Maple Garlic Sauce:

1/4 cup pure maple syrup
3 tbsp soy sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
2 tbsp unsalted butter

Directions 🍴

Prepare Chicken:

In a shallow dish, mix flour, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Dredge chicken breasts in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.

Cook Chicken:

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sear chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

Make the Sauce:

In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in maple syrup, soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.

Combine:

Return chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Sprinkle crumbled bacon over the chicken and cook for 2-3 minutes to heat through.
Serve:

Garnish with chopped parsley if desired and serve hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted veggies.
