Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 pound bacon
- 1 pound fresh asparagus
- 4 cup diced potatoes
- 1 medium onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the chopped bacon until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate, reserving the grease.
3. Add the diced onion to the bacon grease and sauté for about 5 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
4. Pat the chicken breasts dry, season with salt and pepper, and sear in the skillet for about 3 minutes per side until golden brown.
5. Combine heavy cream and chicken broth in the skillet, whisk in thyme and paprika, and let simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
6. Layer half of the diced potatoes in the prepared baking dish, season with salt and pepper, then add asparagus pieces and half of the cooked bacon. Place seared chicken on top and pour the creamy sauce over everything. Add remaining potatoes and bacon.
7. Sprinkle cheddar cheese over the top, cover with foil, and bake for 25-30 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until golden brown and potatoes are tender.
8. Allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
