Creamy Dill Pickle Chicken with Bacon
Creamy chicken sounds great, with the chopped dill pickles, this sounds very interesting! On my to cook list. Link to the shortcuts are listed in the Recipe Notes section.
Ingredients
- olive oil, as needed
- 6 slices bacon, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, smashed and minced
- 1 onion, minced
- 500 grams chicken thighs, boneless, skinless, cut into bite size pieces
- 1 1/4 cups chicken stock, fresh or from powder
- 60 grams Cream cheese, softened, this is about 1/4 of a standard block of cream cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream, OR make from a shortcut
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1/2 - 3/4 cup dill pickle, chopped, plus more to serve, OR make from a shortcut on this site
- scallions, OR spring onions, chopped, for garnish
- salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- In a non-stick pan heat a splash of olive oil and cook the bacon until it is almost crisp, remove from the pan and drain on a paper towel. Add more olive oil if no bacon remains, heat and add the onion and garlic and cook until the onion is soft. Add the chicken and cook until lightly browned and just cooked through.
- Add the stock and once it simmers, add the cream cheese and break that up with your spatula. When the cream cheese is melted into the liquid, add the sour cream and Parmesan cheese and stir to combine into the sauce, cook for several minutes to thicken the sauce and season with salt and pepper to your liking.
- When the sauce has thicken, mix in the bacon and pickle and server over mashed potatoes or rice. Garnish some scallion and pickle slices if desired.
Notes
Chicken thighs will cost about 35 Baht/500 grams, you can bone and skin these yourself. The cheese needed for this is minimal so I will estimate about 50 Baht for the cheese needed. For 4 servings, this is about 63 cents per serving. Excellent value.
