• Heat a large skillet or pan over medium heat. Fry bacon until crispy; transfer to a plate. Sear chicken on each side in the oil left over from the bacon until just beginning to brown (just need to brown as it will finish in the sauce).

• Add any remaining honey mustard sauce into the pan along with the cream and milk. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally until the chicken is cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a warm plate.

• Pour the cornstarch mixture into the pan, mixing it until it thickens. Place chicken back into the pan; coat with the sauce. Top with the bacon and garnish with parsley.
