2-4 Boneless, Skinless CHICKEN Breasts
2 cups MILK, half-and-half, or cream

1 small ONION, frenched and diced
2 tbsp. BUTTER
2 tbsp. FLOUR
1/2 tsp. dried PARSLEY
1 cup RICE

Pinch of ground or rubbed SAGE

Add onion and saute until translucent with some browning. Remove onion to a small bowl. Chop half of bacon meat into bowl. Chop remaining bacon meat into a rice cooker. Discard remaining fatty bacon.

Sprinkle salt, pepper, sage, and paprika on chicken and brown in skillet. Add rice and water to rice cooker and engage cycle. Melt butter in saucier, allow water to cook out, but do not brown butter. Whisk in flour to form a crumbly roux. Add more flour if needed, but do so slowly, whisking carefully. Let roux cook 1-2 minutes, chop up with whisk, cook 1-2 more minutes, but do not brown. Slowly whisk in milk, forming first a paste, then a thick liguid, then a liquid. Add bacon, onions, parsley, and pepper then stir. Allow to cook on low heat until sauce thickens.

Finish cooking chicken and allow to rest 5 minutes. Cube chicken into bite-sized morsels, paying attention to pieces that may need extra cooking. Stir corn into sauce. Add fully-cooked chicken bites to sauce. Serve over bacon rice.
