This mouthwatering dish combines tender chicken infused with the rich flavors of bacon, aromatic garlic, and fragrant basil, creating a comforting and satisfying meal that’s easy to prepare and sure to please your taste buds.

Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 4 slices of bacon
• 1 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons butter
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 cups cooked Jasmine rice
• Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until it becomes crispy. Once done, remove the bacon from the skillet and set it aside on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Crumble the bacon into small pieces.
3. In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat.
4. Sear the seasoned chicken breasts in the skillet until they turn golden brown on both sides and are fully cooked through. This should take about 6-8 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the chicken.
5. While the chicken is cooking, add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until it becomes fragrant.
6. Once the chicken is cooked, sprinkle the chopped fresh basil over the chicken breasts. Allow the basil to slightly wilt and infuse its aromatic flavor into the chicken.
7. Remove the skillet from the heat and assemble your plates by placing a generous serving of buttery Jasmine rice at the center.
8. Top the rice with the succulent Bacon and Basil Garlic Butter Chicken, and don’t forget to drizzle any remaining buttery pan juices over the chicken and rice.
9. Garnish the dish with crumbled bacon pieces and additional fresh basil leaves for an extra burst of flavor and a lovely presentation.
