Bacon Butter Chicken Skillet is the kind of dish that delivers indulgent comfort with every bite. This simple yet flavorful recipe combines juicy chicken, crispy bacon, and a rich garlic butter sauce to create a meal that feels both rustic and gourmet. Perfect for busy weeknights or weekend dinners, it’s a skillet sensation that comes together in just over half an hour.
The magic begins with bacon. As it crisps up in the pan, it releases flavorful fat that becomes the base for searing golden chicken bites. Seasoned simply with paprika, salt, and pepper, the chicken absorbs all the savory goodness from the bacon drippings, creating a golden crust while staying tender and moist inside.
Adding butter and garlic to the skillet transforms the dish into a luxurious feast. The garlic becomes fragrant in the bubbling butter, enhancing the chicken’s savory profile. A splash of broth adds depth and a touch of sauce to drizzle over your favorite side. Reintroducing the crispy bacon at the end ensures each bite offers a satisfying crunch.
