Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups chicken broth
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 8 strips bacon, uncooked, chopped
- 2 lb chicken breasts, boneless, skinless
- ⅓ cup Dijon mustard
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
- 1 cup onion, chopped
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix together the Dijon mustard, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a paste. Evenly coat the chicken breasts with this paste and set aside.
- In a large skillet, cook the chopped bacon over medium-high heat until it begins to brown. Remove the bacon and set aside, leaving a small amount of bacon fat in the skillet.
- Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook in the remaining bacon fat until softened. Remove the onions and set them aside with the bacon.
- Add the olive oil to the now empty skillet and heat over medium. Cook the mustard-coated chicken breasts for about 1.5 minutes on each side, until lightly browned but not fully cooked.
- Remove the chicken from the skillet. Pour the chicken broth into the skillet, bring to a boil, and scrape the bottom to release any flavorful bits.
- Return the bacon and onions to the skillet, mixing well.
- Place the chicken breasts back into the skillet. Reduce the heat to low-medium and cook for 15-20 minutes, turning the chicken once, until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink in the center.
