Zippy Skippy Smothered Chicken Breasts

 

Sometimes I will cook the bacon ahead of time and then throw it all into the slow cooker. It gives time for the flavors to blend together better giving it a more saturated taste. I usually serve this with some kind of potato on the side. Yum, yum, yummy! Check out what they are saying about this recipe over at All Recipes:

“This is fabulously easy and quite a crowd pleaser! The paring of the salty bacon and sweet sugared onions is just perfect and plates beautifully.”

This really is a one skillet meal so cleanup is super easy. The ingredients and cooking process is simple so it’s perfect for the busiest of weekdays.

 

Ingredients

4 (6 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

8 strips Oscar Mayer bacon

1 onion, sliced

1/4 cup packed Domino’s brown sugar

1/2 cup shredded Kraft Colby-Monterey Jack cheese

 

Instructions

Sprinkle chicken with salt and lemon-pepper.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook the chicken breasts in hot oil until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 13 to 15 minutes.

An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove and keep warm.

Place bacon in large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes.

Drain bacon slices on paper towels; reserve 2 tablespoons drippings. Cook and stir onion and brown sugar in reserved drippings until onion is golden, about 5 minutes.

Place two bacon strips on each chicken breast half; top with caramelized onions and sprinkle with Colby-Monterey Jack cheese.
