And the bacon\u2026 well it makes everything even better.\u00a0<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"emoji\" role=\"img\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/13.0.1\/svg\/1f609.svg\" alt=\"?\" \/><\/p>\n<p>When you want comfort food (calories be damned\u2026 and no, I did not calculate them lol), this is your dish.<\/p>\n<p>My sister (the vegetarian) actually came up with the idea for this recipe. She\u2019s like \u201cIs it true that I can\u2019t find a creamy bacon chicken recipe on your site?\u201d And I was like \u201chmmm\u2026. there\u2019s a creamy chicken bacon gnocchi recipe on my site, but you\u2019re right\u201d. And so this was born. This recipe is straight out of the Salt &amp; Lavender playbook\u2026 I have a lot of creamy chicken recipes.
