Marinade:
1 cup water
3 tablespoons soy sauce
4 1/2 teaspoons granular Splenda or equivalent liquid Splenda

Steps:

  • Place the chicken breasts in a large zipper bag. Combine the marinade ingredients and pour into the bag with the chicken. Set inside a baking dish and marinate in the refrigerator 2 hours or longer. Grill the chicken and keep warm while preparing the vegetables. In a large skillet cook the peppers and onion in oil until tender-crisp and slightly browned on the edges. Season with salt. Remove from the pan and set aside. Heat the bacon grease in the same skillet; sauté the mushrooms in the bacon grease. Season with salt, to taste. To assemble the dish, arrange the pepper and onion mixture on a large platter, or divide between six dinner plates. Slice the chicken on the bias and arrange over the peppers. Sprinkle with the cheese. Scatter the hot mushrooms and bacon bits over the top and let stand a few minutes until the cheese has melted. Serve with the toppings of your choice (not included in the counts). Makes 6 servings Do not freeze
