    Spring Veggies

    How good does that sound? Creamy, dreamy, savory, smoky from the bacon, and a little pop of freshness from the spring vegetables. We know you are going to love this chicken recipe as we packed in some fresh spring veggies like leeks and peas and served over quick and easy zucchini zoodles.

    Ok, I seen some of you out there squirming your eyes at the peas on the plate. LOL .... (smiling) The best part of this recipe is just exchange whatever veggies you like or you have in your crisper. To make it even more low carb try cauliflower, bell peppers or mushrooms instead.

    Ingredients & Substitutions

    This stovetop chicken recipe is relatively lower carb. If you want to make this recipe keto friendly...

    • Remove the spring peas and substitute with bell peppers, green beans or other low carb vegetables.
    • Exchange the white wine with chicken broth.

    Need it to be dairy free?

    • Substitute the dairy creamer with coconut cream or a nondairy creamer of choice.

    Creamy Bacon Sauce

    Bacon, according to teenagers, belongs in it's own food group. We could not agree more! Bacon is what makes this creamy sauce to die for.

    But, when you combine it with the following ingredients, you have something magical. You are going to want to slather this creamy bacon sauce on everything.

    • leeks
    • garlic
    • white wine
    • cream
    • Dijon mustard

    When is the Chicken Breast Cooked?

    This question comes up all the time. First, it is important to note that time is not the best way to gauge if your chicken breast is done as they can vary in size. Here is our recommendations.

    • The juices of the chicken should run clear.
    • Use a meat thermometer! According to the USDA, Chicken should be cooked until the internal temperature is 165 degrees F (73 degrees C).

    How to Store?

    If you are lucky enough to have leftovers, they can be refrigerated in a covered container for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.

    How to Reheat?

    You can reheat this stovetop chicken with creamy bacon sauce in a couple of different ways...

    1. Stovetop - Reheat over medium low heat for 3 to 5 minutes. If the sauce is to thick, add a teaspoon of water or chicken broth at a time to thin it out.
    2. Microwave - Reheat for 30 seconds, then turn and another 30 seconds until warmed all the way through. If frozen, this process will take longer.

    What to Serve with Stovetop Chicken?

    • Air fryer Zucchini
    • Tossed green salad with White balsamic dressing.
    • Low carb appetizers like stuffed peppers or feta mushrooms.
    • Don't forget desserts like our red, white and blue sorbets.

    Instructions

    • In a large frying pan, add olive oil. Season chicken both sides with salt and pepper and fry over medium low heat for about 3-4 minutes each side or until the juices run clear.
    • Remove the chicken breasts from the pan and keep warm. Add the bacon and leeks and fry until the bacon is cooked and the leeks are tender, approximately 5 minutes. Add the garlic to the pan and just saute until aromatic.
    • Deglaze the pan with white wine and add dijon mustard. Add your heavy cream (or coconut cream) into the pan and saute just until bubbly. Season to taste. Add the cooked chicken back into the pan and slather with the creamy white wine sauce and toss in your peas.
    • If you would like to serve over zucchini noodles, sauté zucchini noodles in a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper for just 1 minute until starting to wilt. Plate your chicken over your zucchini noodles and lots of extra delicious creamy bacon and leek wine sauce.

    Notes

    • Feel free to exchange the peas with a vegetable of choice. If you want to make this recipe keto, then exchange peas with either cauliflower, bell peppers or mushrooms or any other low carb veggie or item of choice.

    • Leftovers can be refrigerated in a covered container for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.

      When living a somewhat monastic life because of current circumstances > I seem to exist on stirfries and frittatas, both so fast, convenient and practical as far as using up 'stuff' in your fridge is concerned. Well, this recipe very much belongs in the same genre ! Yes I'll happily make zoodles but, since I have a negative 'thing' about peas mushrooms just might take their place . . . yep, another of your recipes which has landed in the kitchen file 🙂 !!

        Hi there Eha. We are all about using up what you have in the refrigerator. Many times, that is our recipe creation inspiration. You are not the only one that has mentioned that they are not fond of peas. You can certainly swap out for other veggies you like. Stay well and take care.
