- 6 slices thick-cut bacon, chopped
- 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts, approximately 1½ pounds, pat dry
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
CREAMED CORN
- 2 -3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 small yellow onion, diced (about ½ cup)
- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
- 2 packages (10 ounces each) frozen corn kernels, thawed
- 1 cup (238 g) heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- ½ cup (122.5 g) whole milk
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup (25 g) parmesan cheese, freshly grated
- parsley, for garnish
In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, fry the chopped bacon pieces for 9-11 minutes, or until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
Drain the bacon grease, leaving about 2 tablespoons in the skillet to cook the chicken.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture on both sides of the chicken breasts. Rub the mixture into each to ensure the chicken is evenly coated.
To the skillet with the reserved bacon grease over medium heat, add seasoned chicken. Cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until no longer pink and cooked through. (Chicken is fully cooked when the internal temperature reaches 165°F.)
Remove chicken from pan, place on a plate, and tent with aluminum foil to keep warm.
Creamed Corn
In the same skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Once melted, add the onion. Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until brown. Add garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
Add corn, cream, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Mix well.
In a small bowl, whisk together the milk and flour. Pour into the corn mixture and continue to cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until thickened (about 2 minutes).
Add the cooked bacon and parmesan cheese to the skillet. Stir to combine until the cheese is completely melted.
Top with cooked chicken.
Garnish with parsley. Serve immediately.
