Ingredients

4 slices bacon, chopped
¼ cup olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, pounded flat
1 cup chopped mushrooms
¼ cup chopped green onions
1 cup marinated artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 ½ cups white wine, or to taste
2 teaspoons white sugar, or to taste
⅓ cup half-and-half

Steps:

Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Remove from skillet and drain on paper towel-lined plate.
Meanwhile, heat olive oil and butter in a separate skillet over medium heat. Once butter has melted, add chicken and cook until brown, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Remove chicken to a plate.
Place mushrooms and green onions in the skillet and saute until mushrooms are soft, 6 to 8 minutes. Add artichokes, garlic, and oregano and saute for 1 minute. Add bacon. Stir in wine and sugar and bring to a simmer. Cook until sauce reduces, 3 to 5 minutes.
Place chicken breasts in back in the sauce. Add half-and-half and simmer for 1 minute.
