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.

Yummy-I ditched the artichokes too added sour cream add the last minute for an amazing gravy that was delicious with keto bread.

Subbed Unmeat Chicken chunks, a garden burger, and Veggie bacon strips and it came out better than I thought. Good seasoning and flavor. Didn't use artichokes.

Who does bacon in the oven for 40 minutes? I throw it in the microwave on top of paper towels and for 6 ounces I put it in for seven minutes. It came out nice and crispy. I chopped it up and that was that.

I used a Roto chicken so I just threw everything in the pan one time sautéed it till the chicken was warm and all the veggies were warm then I added liquids then I added the bacon then I put in Parmesan cheese to Thicken it up it was delicious

Was really hoping for more. Needs a thickener. Cheese or something. Also, ingredients call for coconut milk while instructions call for cream. Artichokes didn't go that well. It was just ok.

This was really good! I did fry it altogether instead of individually. Then added in broth and cream. I also did not use coconut milk. I used heavy whipping cream and added 1/4 c. Parmesan cheese to thicking it. Really good will be making it again.
UnbelievableArugula323620 2 years ago
Needs some improvement. I think the coconut milk just doesn’t go with the bacon. The cooking time could be shortened by a lot if the bacon is just pan cooked instead of in the oven. That doesn’t make much sense imo. The artichoke hearts are also a bit over the top. I suggest with all that extra time you could save by not putting the bacon in the oven, you add an extra step to the chicken preparation to pound the chicken. I tried it in a different recipe and the chicken was more tender and tasty

Delicious but very time consuming
FantasticArugula690309 2 years ago
Too many ingredients. Makes this a $50 meal. Also says a lemon is required but not listed in the instructions where to add.
FantasticCauliflower965510 4 months ago
The lemon juice is added in instructions number 7

Lemon is on the chicken with the garlic etc when you cube it - it’s at the start of the process.

Good, the next day for leftovers I added cauliflower rice with 2T of grated parm in it. Tasty!!
AmazingRadish235934 3 years ago
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!!
BrendaSchonig 3 years ago
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
AwesomeKetone429012 3 years ago
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 3 years 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.
