Creamy Bacon Chicken (Restaurant-Style Comfort Food!)

1. Crisp the Bacon: Add chopped bacon to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook until crispy, about 8–10 minutes. Remove bacon and set aside, leaving the drippings in the pan.
2. Prepare the Chicken: Season chicken cutlets with garlic powder and pepper. Lightly dredge each piece in flour, shaking off excess.
3. Sear the Chicken: Add chicken to the hot skillet and cook 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown. Adjust heat if needed to avoid burning. Remove chicken and set aside.
4. Deglaze the Pan: Add chicken broth, lemon juice, and butter to the skillet. Stir and let simmer until reduced by about half, scraping up the browned bits.
5. Make the Cream Sauce: Stir in the heavy cream and let it gently bubble for 1–2 minutes.
6. Finish: Return the chicken and bacon to the skillet. Simmer 5 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and sauce thickens to your liking.
