Chicken Cutlets with Bacon, Rosemary & Lemon

Everyone loves this dish!

  • ·5 slices Bacon, chopped

  • ·¼ cup All Purpose Flour

  • ·4 boneless, skinless Chicken breasts, trimmed

  • ·4 Garlic cloves, sliced thin (I just use 2 teaspoons of minced garlic in the jar)

  • ·1 Tablespoon chopped fresh Rosemary (or 1 teaspoon dried Rosemary)

  • ·Salt & Pepper

  • ·1 Tablespoon unsalted Butter

  • ·⅛ teaspoon red pepper flakes

  • ·1 cup low sodium Chicken Broth

  • ·2 Tablespoons Lemon Juice

  • 1. Fry Bacon in Large Skillet over medium-high heat until crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer bacon with slotted spoon to plate lined with paper towels. Spoon off all but 2 tablespoons of fat.

  • 2. Meanwhile, place Flour in Shallow Dish. Season Chicken with salt and pepper, then dredge in flour and shake to remove excess.

  • 3. Add Butter to reserved bacon fat in skillet and heat over high heat, swirling to melt the butter. When foam subsides, reduce heat to medium-high and cook Chicken until browned on both sides, 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to plate (leaving fat in skillet) and loosely cover with foil.

  • 4. Reduce heat to medium and add Garlic, Rosemary and Pepper Flakes. Cook until garlic is browned and crisp, about 2 minutes.

  • 5. Add Broth and Lemon Juice. Scrape up browned bits from bottom of skillet with wooden spoon and simmer until slightly thickened, about 4 minutes.

  • 6. Return chicken and bacon to pan and simmer, turning chicken once or twice, until sauce is thick and glossy, about 2-3 minutes.

  • 7. Adjust seasonings and serve.

TOTAL TIME: 45 (minutes)

notes:

Takes a bit of work, but very worth it. I usually make it with mashed potatoes and corn, possibly salad too.
