You have all heard of the bacon cheese burger, well here is the bacon cheese chicken! We eat a lot of chicken, if you haven't noticed from my blog. We love chicken and I am always trying to find new and tasty ways to make it. My younger son loves bacon cheeseburgers, so I thought why not bacon cheese chicken, and so it was born. This is how I made it:
Bacon Cheese Chicken
2 Tbsp. canola oil
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
4 Tbsp. Grey Poupon mustard
Salt and Pepper, to taste
4 slices of Swiss cheese
1/2 cup finely shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup bacon bits
3 plum tomatoes, chopped and seeded
Spread the oil in a frying pan to cover the bottom. Wash, pat dry and remove any loose skin from the chicken and place in the frying pan. Spread each piece, top side only, with 1 tablespoon of mustard and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook chicken on medium high heat until it is no longer pink inside, about 8 minutes on each side. Cover and reduce heat to medium low and let cook for about 10 minutes more. Uncover, drain off the juices and put 1 piece of the Swiss cheese on each breast, sprinkle on the cheddar and then top with the bacon. Cover and let the cheeses melt. Plate the chicken up and top with fresh cut tomatoes. I served mine with grilled fresh zucchini, carrots, and red onion in a garlic herb sauce and buttered orzo, all started while the chicken was cooking. Whole meal takes about 30 minutes to make. Serves 4.
