Best chicken ever!

I realize this is going to push Kaylee pictures down, but I have to share this delicious recipe (and I promise to post more pictures soon). I found this recipe on about.com and we had it yesterday for dinner. So good! And pretty simple (I wouldn't have made it if it wasn't). I will warn you though... it's a pretty heavy and not so healthy recipe (which is why it's so yummy).

Bacon Chicken


Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 6 slices bacon
  • 1 Tbsp. butter
  • 1 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/8 tsp. pepper
  • 1-1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Preparation:

Cook bacon in 12" skillet until crisp, about 4-6 minutes. Crumble bacon and set aside. Pour bacon grease out of skillet, but don't wash or wipe it. Add butter and olive oil to skillet. Saute chicken breasts in this mixture over medium heat, turning once, until chicken is cooked and no longer pink in center. Place chicken in ungreased 12x8" baking dish.

Cook onion and garlic in drippings remaining in skillet. Cook until onion is softened, then stir in salt, pepper, and cooked bacon. Spoon over chicken breasts and sprinkle with cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes until cheese is melted. Serves 6
