Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook bacon until crisp. Transfer cooked bacon to paper towel-lined plate to de-grease. Do not clean skillet out. Set plate of bacon aside.

- Stir in chicken stock and allow time for it to reduce, about 1 minute, stirring occasionally.

- While sauce reduces, crumble cooked bacon. Keep crumbles on plate until sauce has reduced.
- Once sauce has reduced, sprinkle salt and pepper into skillet. Then, stir in bacon crumbles and grated Parmesan.
- Remove skillet from heat, garnish with fresh parsley and freshly-cracked pepper, then serve.
