Creamy Balsamic Mushroom Bacon Chicken

Winner winner chicken dinner! This was one amazing meal. I have made a lot of chicken recipes in my day so take it from me, this was fantastic! This dish has a whole lot of creaminess going on just the way we like it. But the added balsamic in the creamy sauce added this tangy delicious flavor to the sauce. It was such a delicious and unique combination.

The chicken gets pan fried to perfection and is tender and juicy. The added mushrooms to the cream sauce was just what it needed and the chicken is exceptionally good topped with the crispy bacon.

Cream Sauce + Balsamic + Mushrooms + Bacon. This is a recipe for perfection!
