Just a little bit of bacon or other cured meat can season an entire dish, as these recipes from Matthew Ridgway demonstrate. "Bonne Maman," which means "grandmother" in French, seems like a fitting name for the first dish, which is the kind of homey, old-fashioned food you'd expect to eat at Grandma's house. There's a substantial amount of fat in this recipe, but you will still have a flavorful dish if you cut back on the oil for sautéeing the chicken and the butter for enriching the sauce. Just don't stint on the bacon!
