Bacon & Rosemary Chicken Recipe photo by Taste of Home
Pound chicken breasts slightly with a meat mallet to uniform thickness; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place flour in a shallow bowl. Dip chicken in flour to coat both sides; shake off excess.
In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp, stirring occasionally. Remove with a slotted spoon; drain on paper towels. Discard drippings, reserving 2 tablespoons in pan. Cook chicken in butter and reserved drippings 4-6 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 165°. Remove and keep warm.
Add garlic, rosemary and pepper flakes to skillet; cook and stir 1 minute. Add broth and lemon juice; bring to a boil. Cook until liquid is reduced by half. Return chicken and bacon to skillet; heat through.

Really Good! Made this tonight and the family loved it. I didn't really change any ingredient. However, I had 5 chicken breasts and when I weighed them they were all 7 to 8 oz each. I had to add more butter while frying and I added more chicken broth. Next time I will just add the juice of the whole lemon. I also cooked more bacon. I heated up the oven to warm them, because I could only fit 2 breasts at a time in my cast iron skillet. That's mostly because the breasts when pounded out were quite large. This was yummy, served it with rice and veggies.

Oh wow this is so good!!! The chicken was moist and tender. The flavor from the lemon and rosemary was perfect. Nothing was over done on the seasoning. This is company worthy!!

This was delicious! I used boneless, skinless chicken thighs instead of breasts. Followed the rest of the recipe exactly. I probably put in too much red pepper flakes because it had a kick to it. But my family loved it. Will definitely make again.
