Today you get an actual recipe! And a link! I've never tried this recipe (since I haven't had meat since January), but it's from one of my favorite food blogs, and every other recipe I have tried has been fantastic. I'm not going to be following it exactly (because the amount of bacon used makes me a little queasy), but you have to live a little. So, today, there will be bacon. With a generous side salad and whatever veggies look good when I'm doing my shopping.
Presenting lemon pepper bacon sandwiches, as adopted from The Pioneer Woman!
Ingredients:
- Boneless, skinless chicken breasts - washed and patted dry
- Lemon-pepper seasoning
- Bacon strips
- Cheddar cheese slices
- Buns
Prep:
- Place each chicken breast between two sheets of wax paper. Using the smooth side of a mallet (or rolling pin, or heavy can), flatten the chicken so it is uniform thickness.
- Cut the bacon strips in half and cook in a skillet on medium-low heat until the bacon looks chewy. Drain the grease, saving one tablespoon. Lay cooked bacon on paper towels to finish draining.
- With the skillet still on medium-low heat, add the remaining tablespoon of grease. Sprinkle the chicken breasts GENEROUSLY with lemon pepper. Lay in pan to cook.
- Cook on one side until the edges are no longer pink (about four minutes).
- Flip the chicken over and add the bacon to the chicken. Add the cheese slices and cover so the cheese has a chance to melt.
- Serve on buns. Lettuce, tomatoes, whatever else would be good as well.
