Equipment

  • 1 Cast iron skillet
  • 1 Sheet pan

Ingredients
  

  • 4 slices bacon
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 2 lbs chicken breast Average chicken breast weighs in about 6 ounces.

    You can also use thighs

    If you'd like you can keep the skin on (extra good when crispy)

  • 2 each shallots sliced thin
  • 1/2 cup white wine I prefer Pinot Grigio but Chardonnay or Dry Riesling will do
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • 2 tsp Herbs de Provence
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • fresh parsley for topping

Instructions
 

  • Cook the bacon on a sheet pan in the over at 350℉ for about 20-30 minutes. Until crispy. Remove from the oven, place bacon on paper towels and crush.
  • Place the cast iron skillet on the stove at medium heat. Add bacon grease from sheet pan to the cast iron skillet.
    Note: you can use 4 tbsp tablespoons of olive oil instead or 2 tbsp butter with 2 tbsp olive oil in place of the bacon grease.
  • Mix the flour, Herbs de Provence, and salt and pepper (if using)
  • Dredge chicken in flour mixture and cook in pan. We are looking for a nice brown color on each side not to cook it all the way through. Remove from the pan and place off to the side.
  • Add shallots to the pan and sauté for up to 10 minutes. Just until they are softened and a golden brown.
  • Add wine and slowly scrap the larger pieces up from the pan
  • Add the chicken stock and cook until reduced about 5-6 minutes
  • Now we add the chicken back to the pan with the crushed up bacon. Bake for 40 minutes. Make sure to periodically check and baste the chicken.
  • Remove from the oven when you chicken is at 160℉ and rest for 5-10 minutes and a final temperature of 165℉ before serving.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

One of the myriad of recipes I’ve jotted down, changed up a bit here and there, and though you might like to try too.
I will say I prefer chicken breast but others seem to prefer deboned thigh meat.
More to follow as we’ll want to add some pictures here for you. 
As always we hope that you … Enjoy!
