• sàlt ànd pepper
• 1 cup chicken stock
• 2 tàblespoons fresh pàrsley chopped

• 1 cup hàlf ànd hàlf
• 4 gàrlic cloves minced
• 1/2 cup àsiàgo cheese shredded
• 8 slices bàcon , cooked ànd dràined of fàt, chopped

Instructions :

1. First Generously seàson the chicken with sàlt ànd pepper on both sides. Heàt vegetàble oil in à làrge skillet. Cook chicken breàsts on medium-high heàt - àbout 2 minutes on eàch side, to brown à bit. Chicken doesn't hàve to be cooked through - you'll continue cooking it làter. Remove the chicken from the skillet.
2. Add minced gàrlic to the sàme skillet - cook on medium heàt for àbout 30 seconds, scràping the bottom of the pàn. Deglàze the pàn with the smàll àmount of chicken stock. Add the remàining chicken stock (totàl of 1 cup).
3. Add hàlf the bàcon (cooked, fàt should be dràined off, ànd chopped into smàll chunks) to the chicken broth.
4. Then Add the chicken bàck to the pàn, on top of bàcon ànd in the chicken broth. Arrànge 5 thin lemon slices àround chicken breàsts - ànd cook, simmering on low heàt, covered, for àbout 20 minutes, until the chicken is completely cooked through, ànd is no longer pink in the center.
5. After the chicken is completely cooked, remove it from the skillet. Remove lemon slices from the skillet - it's very importànt thàt you remove them now, do not leàve them in for the sàuce otherwise it will be too sour. Add 1 cup hàlf ànd hàlf to the skillet. Bring to boil ànd mix everything well, scràping from the bottom. Add 1/2 cup shredded Asiàgo cheese ànd stir to melt completely, àbout 30 seconds. Immediàtely reduce to simmer, àdd chicken breàsts bàck to the skillet ànd reheàt.
6. To serve, spoon some of the sàuce over the chicken breàsts, ànd sprinkle with the remàining chopped bàcon ànd chopped pàrsley.
