🧾 Ingredients:

1 lb chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces

1 tbsp all-purpose flour

1 cup chicken broth

Salt and black pepper, to taste

2 cups cooked white rice

👩‍🍳 Directions:

1. Cook the rice according to the package instructions and set aside.

2. In a large skillet, cook the diced bacon over medium heat until crispy (about 5–7 minutes). Remove and set aside.

3. Add olive oil to the same skillet and cook the chicken until browned on all sides (around 5 minutes). Remove and set aside.

4. Sauté the onion and garlic in the same skillet until soft (2–3 minutes).

5. Add the mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and start to brown (about 5 minutes).
