EASY SMOTHERED CHICKEN BREASTS

After reading this recipe here, it sounded so good that I had to put my personal touches to it. I'm not particularly fond of chicken breasts unless they're flattened to a pulp and delicately browned after being dredged in flour. After that I followed the original recipe except I added crushed red peppers and Italian seasoning. I served this with fettuccine alfredo and roasted asparagus on the side. Delizioso!

Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

½ cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup seasoned bread crumbs
2 teaspoons garlic salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 (6 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, pounded thin
8 bacon strips
1 onion, sliced
¼ teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning
¼ teaspoon Italian seasoning
¼ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon red pepper flakes, or more to taste
¼ cup packed brown sugar
½ cup shredded Colby-Monterey Jack cheese

Steps:

  • Mix flour, bread crumbs, garlic salt, and black pepper together in a bowl. Coat each chicken breast with flour mixture.
  • Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon, reserving bacon drippings; drain bacon on paper towels.
  • Cook and stir coated chicken breasts in the bacon drippings until chicken is no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, about 5 minutes per side; remove and keep warm.
  • Cook and stir onion, lemon-pepper seasoning, Italian seasoning, salt, red pepper flakes, and brown sugar in the same skillet until onion is golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
  • Arrange chicken breasts on a baking sheet; top each breast with 2 bacon slices. Top with caramelized onion and Colby-Monterey Jack cheese.
  • Broil chicken breasts until cheese is melted and bubbling, 1 to 3 minutes.
