Keto Bacon Mushroom Chicken
Everyone loves a good one pan meal! This dish is cooked in the fat that is released from bacon cooking, making the dish full of bacon-y goodness and resourceful so the bacon fat doesn’t go to waste. The chicken is paired with meaty mushrooms and artichokes in a delicious cream sauce. This is a great dish to scale up and keep around for meals during the week. Full-fat coconut milk was used for this recipe, but you can use cream as well.

Too many ingredients. Makes this a $50 meal. Also says a lemon is required but not listed in the instructions where to add.

Good, the next day for leftovers I added cauliflower rice with 2T of grated parm in it. Tasty!!

Time consuming, but yummy. Added extra salt and pepper and some spinach as I didn't have artichoke hearts.

Love the flavor! Added a bit of cream cheese to thicken the sauce a bit. Will be adding this to my "make again" list.

Good. I wouldn’t add the extra salt, the bacon had enough already

You guys are funny you’re saying to bake bacon for 40 minutes and then chop it up silly I cut up my bacon half pound then I throw it in the skillet and if it starts to cook then I start stiring it around to separate the pieces. This recipe is a time waster. You guys need to revise every recipe and there’s more than one that says to bake bacon.

We used cast iron pan to cook everything on the stove. Still followed all steps. I had coconut powder so I did 1 1/2 Tbs in 1/2 cup of warm water to substitute the coconut milk. Delicious meal! We plan to make on our skottle grill when we go camping!!

I also cooked everything in a cast-iron pan and baking bacon for 40 minutes that’s a joke who does that? Take the half pound of bacon slice it all up throw it in your pan and then as it cooks down you separate it takes like 15 minutes at max.

I just made it a dump dish put everything in at one time sautéed it all at once and then added the cream at the end. This is a good dish but they had too many steps to make it a fash dish

Really stupid who cooks bacon in the oven for 40 minutes when they can fry it for five minutes

When you bake your bacon in the oven, you don't have the splatters all over to clean up after and while it bakes, you could prep your other ingredients.

I always cook mine in the oven at 425 for 20 mins…. Then once the grease cools I wrap up the foil and throw it away!! And I don’t get grease burns from it popping lol …. Btw I cook 3 lbs at a time and store it in the fridge for use through the week in recipes!!! Saves time

Salt water 😂
AmazingAvocado880657 a year ago
I think bacon cooked in the oven or air fryer is much tastier as you can drain the salty water that comes out of some brands half way through the cooking. In my opinion when cooked in a skillet the bacon just absorbs all the salt water and the result is way too salty for me and it makes me too thirsty. Whatever way we can cook is about personal preferences. We should respect that. 😉

I do! I think it tastes best when baked. I also love that I don't have to stay at the stove watching it, I can make other dishes or clean my house while it's cooking.

You shouldn't think yourself stupid for not knowing who cooks bacon in the oven for 40 minutes when they can fry it.

WOW!!! So delicious and easy. I used green onions instead of leeks, fresh broccoli instead of artichokes (cooked it in the backn grease before adding mushrooms) and sour cream in place of coconut cream and lemon. Wonderful!

This is the first time making this delicious recipe. I highly recommend it. The whole family is giving it a thumbs up!!!

Loved this. I used half of a leftover roasted chicken and I added 3 sundried tomatoes and some basil. Otherwise exact recipe. OMG! I could have eaten the whole pan.
