• 1 cup heavy cream

• ½ cup chicken broth

• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken

Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Wrap each chicken breast with two slices of bacon, securing with toothpicks if necessary.

Step 2: Sear Until Golden

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the bacon-wrapped chicken for 3–4 minutes per side until the bacon becomes beautifully golden and crispy.

Step 3: Finish Cooking

Transfer the skillet to a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 4: Make the Sauce

In the same pan, melt butter and sauté garlic until fragrant. Add chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring continuously. Mix in Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning. Simmer until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 5: Serve

Remove the chicken from the oven and place on serving plates. Spoon the creamy herb sauce generously over the top and garnish with fresh parsley.
