Smothered Chicken Breasts

Allrecipes.com

Topped with bacon, caramelized onions and zippy shredded cheese, this dish comes together in no time with ingredients I usually have on hand. Plus, it cooks in one skillet, so its a cinch to clean up! -

Original Recipe Yield 4 servings

Ingredients

4 (6 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

8 bacon strips

1 medium onion, sliced

1/4 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 cup shredded Colby-Monterey Jack cheese

Directions

Sprinkle chicken with salt and lemon-pepper. In a large skillet, cook chicken in oil for 13-15 minutes or until juices run clear; remove and keep warm.

In the same skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Using a slotted spoon, remove to paper towels; drain, reserving 2 tablespoons drippings. In the drippings, saute the onion and brown sugar until onion is golden.

Place two bacon strips on each chicken breast half; top with caramelized onions and cheese.

Chicken with Potatoes, Bacon and Cabbage (Real Simple)

3/4 pound new potatoes, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
kosher salt and black pepper
4 6-ounce boneless, skinless chicken breasts
3 slices bacon, chopped
1 small shallot, minced
1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
3 tablespoons cider vinegar
1/2 small head savoy cabbage (8 ounces), cut into 1/2-inch strips

Heat oven to 425 F. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss the potatoes with 1 tablespoon of the oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Roast, tossing once, until golden brown and tender, 20 to 25 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; cook until golden brown and cooked through, 6 to 7 minutes per side.

In a second large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crisp, 5 to 7 minutes; remove. Add the shallot, mustard, and vinegar to the drippings in the pan and cook, stirring frequently, until the shallot is soft, 2 minutes. Add the cabbage and cook, tossing, until wilted, 2 to 4 minutes more. Serve with the chicken and sprinkle with the bacon.
