Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels, leaving some fat in the skillet.
Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then sear in the bacon fat for about 4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Add diced onions and minced garlic to the skillet; sauté until fragrant (about 3 minutes).
Pour in Riesling wine and chicken broth; simmer for 5 minutes before stirring in heavy cream.
Transfer everything to an oven-safe dish if needed, top with crumbled bacon, and bake for about 25 minutes until bubbly.
