One bite and you’ll know exactly why we call this million-dollar chicken–it’s incredibly rich. In fact, this one-skillet chicken dinner is so savory and satisfying that I developed it to make enough for leftovers, just so I could have the chance to eat it again. Inspired by a beloved party dip, this weeknight dinner version starts with seasoned chicken breasts pan-seared and topped with a cream cheese-based blend with bacon, sharp cheddar cheese, sliced almonds, and scallions, then baked until golden brown and bubbly. All of the leftover pan juices get blended with flour and simmered into an easy, flavorful gravy to spoon over each serving of chicken. If you want to impress your friends and family with a dinner that tastes like a million bucks, this chicken is the answer.
Serving ideas:
Because this meal is all things rich and indulgent, I recommend serving this with something light and fresh. A refreshing green salad (like our spinach salad) is a great idea, but if you’re not in the mood, I can’t deny that roasted potatoes or mashed potatoes would also be great here.
Storage:
Store any leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
