Savoury Chicken Strips with Mustard and Golden Bacon

Ingredients:
500g chicken fillets, cut into strips (sticks or strips) 🍗
150g smoked bacon (or diced smoked chicken for a lighter option) 🥓
1 onion, sliced ​​🧅
2 tbsp old-fashioned mustard 🌟
200ml heavy (or light) crème fraîche 🥛
1 tbsp olive oil 🫒
1 tsp herbes de Provence 🌿
Salt and pepper, to taste 🧂
For garnish (optional):
Fresh parsley, chopped 🌿
Rice, pasta or steamed potatoes to accompany 🍚🍝
Instructions:
1️⃣ Brown the bacon:
In a large hot skillet, fry the bacon without fat over medium heat until golden and crispy. Remove from the pan and set aside. 🥓✨
2️⃣ Sear the chicken:
In the same pan, add the olive oil and fry the chicken strips over medium heat. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Brown on each side for about 5 minutes, until nicely colored and almost cooked through. Remove and set aside. 🍗🔥
3️⃣ Brown the onion:
Add the chopped onion to the pan (you can add a small knob of butter if necessary). Sauté until soft and slightly translucent. 🧅✨
4️⃣ Prepare the mustard sauce:
Lower the heat and add the old-fashioned mustard and the crème fraîche to the onion. Mix well to obtain a creamy sauce. Add the herbes de Provence to flavor. 🌿🌟
5️⃣ Assemble the dish:
Return the bacon and chicken to the pan. Mix well to coat the pieces in the sauce. Simmer over low heat for 5 minutes so that the flavors blend and the chicken finishes cooking. ⏳✨
6️⃣ Serve hot:
Arrange the sliced ​​chicken with mustard and bacon on plates. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve with rice, pasta, or steamed potatoes for a complete and gourmet meal. 🌿🍚
