I did not expect this entree to taste as succulent and flavorful as it did. I chose to cook the bacon first, and use some of the fat with half the butter called for. Perfect!!! Also, I had to use more cream to get enough sauce. Excellent dish!!!!!!

I enjoyed this but it was a bit greasy I think. I used 3 skinless bone-in chicken breasts and used 4 pieces of bacon. I forgot to add the cream, so we didn't really have much of a "sauce" with it, but it was quite good just plain.

This was pretty good. Based on the reviews, I was expecting something better. It definitely did not make enough much cream sauce. I would also add cheese and cook the bacon first.

This was sooooooo good!!! I couldn't stop raving about this chicken while we were eating dinner! I did use soy margarine since my son's allergic to cow's milk, and it was still great! I did use the flour and water to thicken the gravy and added crumbled sauteed bacon to the gravy. I am going to try the real bacon bits to speed up the recipe for the gravy and drain some of the oil from the chicken before adding to the gravy. Other than that, this is an awesome chicken dish!

I loved this recipe. Easy to make with whatever you have on hand. I used asparagus instead of the mushrooms, and homogenised milk with a tsp of cornstarch instead of the heavy cream. It was gobbled up by the family before it had a chance to even get cold. I do recommend pre-cooking the bacon a bit and adding the drippings. I may also use only 1/2 the salt next time. Try this recipe regardless, you will NOT be disappointed.

Because I had previously tried a butter chicken recipe and found it to be bland, I marinated this chicken with a lemon pepper marinate about 2 hours prior to cooking. I used Mrs. Dash with Garlic as the seasoning and rubbed black pepper on the bacon. I used a full 4 oz. can of sliced mushrooms and sprinkled the entire dish with a little mozarella cheese about 10 minutes before removing from the oven. This was the best dish I've tried thus far and it's going in my recipe book!

Everyone enjoyed this recipe-even those who didn't like mushrooms. The chicken was very tender and flavorful. The sauce with cream was too rich for me so I will take your advice and use the flour technique next time.

I have made it at least 5 times by now and it is very easy. It comes out very juicy and flavorful. I use the alternative to the heavy cream (water & flour) and it doesn't change the flavor. I also add more mushrooms since we are mushroom lovers!

My husband couldn't stop raving about this meal (I liked it too - very easy to make). I will definately be making this more often. I did add more mushrooms just because we can't get enough of them in our house and I reduced the juices and added some butter (since it is high in fat anyway why not spurge some more). Thanks for the recipe!

This recipe was easy and delicious! The flavor of the chicken and the gravy is amazing. The bacon should be cooked a bit before putting on top of the chicken, or left out altogether if you like. A new favorite!

This was delicious and so simple. I added twice the amount of mushrooms and it was perfect! I also added a small "dab" of butter to the sauce reduction. Very Very Good. I will make this quite often. If you have problems with your "gravy" seperating, turn your heat down or add an ice cube and stir while on low heat. Your sauce will go back together

Excellent recipe. But definitely reduce the juices before you add the heavy cream to thicken it up.

This chicken was amazing!!! The sauce was incredible--very rich--but incredible. Those individuals who complained about the sauce not thickening must not understand the concept of "reduction". The recipe is flawless and delicious!!! My boyfriend and I loved it! I will make this one again and again. Thanks Sara for such a wonderful meal.

This is a keeper! Don't have to mess with cooking the bacon first - a plus in my book! Suggest put in upper 1/3rd of oven for the last 30 minutes to help cook the bacon more. Most people seem to not like their bacon limp. This would be great for valentine's dinner as it's taste rivals anything a restaurant puts out!!! My kids (5 yr., twins 22 mo. loved it!)

This was so yummy. I upped the amount of mushrooms to 1 1/2 cups (we LOVE mushrooms). I think next time I'll cook the bacon just a bit before putting it all in the oven. But it was still great! We served it with steamed rice and put some of the sauce over it. MMMMMMM Thanks!
