Recipe Instructions:

Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare baking dish: Pour the melted butter into a 9×13-inch baking dish, ensuring it covers the bottom evenly.
Season chicken: Place the chicken breast halves in the baking dish, skin side down. Sprinkle them with seasoning salt and minced garlic.
Add bacon: Turn the chicken over so the skin side is up. Season the skin with more seasoning salt if desired. Lay the bacon strips on top of the chicken. (If using 4 breast halves, cut the bacon pieces in half before laying them on top.)
Add mushrooms: Sprinkle the sliced mushrooms evenly over the chicken and bacon.
Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear.
Prepare sauce: Once the chicken is cooked, remove the baking dish from the oven. Transfer the chicken, bacon, and mushrooms to a platter and keep them warm.
Make cream sauce: Pour the juices from the baking dish into a small saucepan. Whisk in the heavy cream and heat over low heat until the sauce thickens slightly.
Serve: Pour the creamy sauce over the chicken and serve warm.

Tips:

For extra flavor, you can marinate the chicken breasts in your favorite seasoning blend for 30 minutes to 1 hour before cooking.
If you prefer crispy bacon, you can partially cook it in a skillet before adding it to the chicken in the oven.
Feel free to customize the recipe by adding additional vegetables such as spinach, bell peppers, or onions to the baking dish.
This dish pairs wonderfully with mashed potatoes, rice, or a simple green salad.
