Chicken with Mustard Cream Sauce

I tried this recipe out of a magazine and it turned out really good!

I made some changes of my own and they did not disappoint.

You start by cooking bacon. Not a bad way to start.

Cook your chicken in the bacon drippings.
(The original recipe calls for pork chops, but I had chicken, so that's what I used)

Make your mustard cream sauce and finish cooking your meat in all the good flavor.

Top your veggies (they wanted brussel sprouts, my kids eat beans) with the bacon and enjoy your chicken, or pork chops, with or without rice.

**When I make this again, and I will make it again, I will maybe double the sauce. We liked the chicken with rice, and the sauce adds good flavor over the rice.**

Recipe:

Cook 4 slices of bacon in a large skillet until crisp. Drain bacon on a paper towel and reserve drippings in pan.

Season 4 (3/4 inch thick) boneless pork chops (or use chicken, I used tenders) with pepper and kosher salt. Lightly dust with flour. Cook in bacon drippings over medium heat for about 7 minutes, turning once, or until nicely browned.

Remove meat to a plate; add 1 minced shallot (I diced green onions and added some minced garlic) and saute 30 seconds.

Deglaze skillet with 1/2 cup white wine (I used apple juice), then whisk in 2/3 cup heavy cream and 1 tsp Dijon mustard; let sauce reduce by half. Return meat into skillet and simmer until cooked through (about 3-5 min).

Serve with veggies topped with crisp bacon bits.
