    This all-in-one skillet meal should be made in an oven-safe pan or cast iron skillet. 

    The delicious creamy cheesy sauce and chopped bacon make the chicken and Brussels sprouts so very flavorful.

    See the printable recipe card for more details.

    Instructions

    Cooking the bacon.

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Bring a large cast iron skillet or oven-safe pan over medium heat. Fry the chopped bacon until crisp. Reserve in a bowl but keep the extra bacon grease in the pan.

    Cooking the chicken

    Sprinkle ¼ teaspoon of salt on the chicken pieces. Add the chicken pieces and cook in the bacon fat for 5 to 6 minutes, occasionally stirring until golden brown. Transfer to the bacon bowl.

    Cooking the brussels sprouts.

    If needed, add a drizzle of avocado oil or olive oil to the skillet and add the brussels sprouts, red pepper flakes, and remaining salt. Fry for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the minced garlic and fry for an extra minute or just until fragrant.

    Adding the bacon, chicken and cream to the pan.

    Add the heavy cream, and lemon juice, and add back the chicken and bacon. Turn the heat to low and simmer for 3 minutes. Stir to combine.

    Simmering the pan.

    Add the shredded mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese on top. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbling.

    Ready to serve skillet meal.

    Sprinkle with lemon zest and serve.

    Hint: Use an oven-safe pan or cast iron skillet for this recipe. I also used a Microplane zester for the lemon zest.

      This was so rich and delicious! I served it over mashed potatoes for the non-keto peeps in the family and it was a hit with everyone.
