Ingredients

8 ounce Dry Pasta
400 grams Boneless Chicken Breast cut into bite-size pieces.
6-7 strips Bacon
1 tablespoon Butter
½ teaspoon Onion Powder
½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
½ tablespoon Minced Garlic

Keep roughly 1 tablespoon of bacon fat in the skillet and discard the rest.
If the skillet has cooled down, heat it again for 30 seconds.

Flip and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove chicken from the skillet and keep aside covered.
Melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Saute chopped onion and garlic for about 1 minute. The onion should be softened and the garlic shouldn't be smelling raw.
Add 1 tablespoon flour. Saute for about 30 seconds. The mixture might stick to the bottom of the pan but make sure it doesn't burn.
Reduce heat. Slowly add chicken stock to the skillet in 2-3 batches. Scrap the bottom of the skillet and keep stirring to make a smooth sauce.
