Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken:

  • 2 large boneless and skinless chicken breasts, halved horizontally
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 heaping tablespoons flour
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 3 tablespoons finely grated fresh Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or canola oil
  • Fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional, for garnish)

For the Sauce:

  • 8 ounces bacon, trimmed of fat and diced
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 3 large cloves garlic, grated or minced
  • 10.5 oz. cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 ½ cups milk
  • 1 cup sour cream, at room temperature
  • 1 oz. packet Ranch seasoning mix (about 3 tablespoons)

Instructions

  • Season chicken filets with salt and pepper, then dredge in a mixture of flour, Italian seasoning, and Parmesan cheese.
  • Heat butter and oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken filets until golden on both sides, then set aside.
  • In the same skillet, cook diced bacon until crisp. Remove bacon and sauté onions in the bacon fat until soft, then add garlic and cook for another minute.
  • Stir in the cream of mushroom soup, milk, sour cream, and Ranch seasoning mix until smooth.
  • Return the chicken to the skillet, cover with sauce, and let simmer for 15-20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.

Notes

  • Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta for a complete meal.
  • Ensure the sour cream is at room temperature to prevent curdling in the sauce.
  • For a lower-fat version, use light sour cream and milk.
