Chicken cutlets cook quickly in the skillet in this easy-prep recipe. Bacon and green onions flavor the chicken while a simple sour cream sauce adds richness!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 strips bacon
  • 4 boneless chicken breast cutlets
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter or vegetable oil
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 4 green onions
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, optional

Instructions

  1. Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the bacon to paper towels to drain and leave the drippings in the pan.
  2. Season the chicken breast cutlets with salt, pepper, and the 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder. Arrange the chicken in the pan and cook over medium heat for 4 to 6 minutes on each side, until the internal temperature reaches 165 F. This could take longer if your chicken breasts are thick. Remove the chicken to a plate and set aside.
  3. Slice the green onions thinly, reserving a few tablespoons of the dark green slices for garnish.
  4. Add 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter or oil to the drippings left in the pan and place it over medium heat; add the green onions and cook for 2 minutes. Add the flour and continue to cook, whisking constantly, for 2 minutes.
  5. Add the chicken broth to the pan and cook, whisking, until thickened, about 2 minutes.
  6. Whisk the sour cream into the chicken broth mixture and add the chicken back to the pan. Reduce the heat to medium-low and heat for 1 to 2 minutes, until hot. Do not boil. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasonings.
  7. Serve the chicken garnished with the reserved sliced green onion tops and parsley, if desired.
