After trying this delicious chicken dish in a restaurant, I decided to recreate it at home. Topped with bacon, caramelized onions and zippy shredded cheese, it comes together in no time with ingredients I usually have on hand. Plus, it cooks in one skillet, so itâs a cinch to clean up! âBrenda Carpenter, Warrensburg, Missouri Ingredients:
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (6 ounces each) |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning |
1 tablespoon canola oil |
8 bacon strips |
1 medium onion, sliced |
1/4 cup packed brown sugar |
1/2 cup shredded colby-monterey jack cheese |
Directions:
1. Sprinkle chicken with salt and lemon-pepper. In a large skillet, cook chicken in oil for 6-7 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 165°; remove and keep warm.
2. In same skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Using a slotted spoon, remove to paper towels; drain, reserving 2 tablespoons drippings.
3. In drippings, saute onion and brown sugar until onion is tender and golden brown. Place two bacon strips on each chicken breast half; top with caramelized onions and cheese. Yield: 4 servings.
