Baked Smothered Chicken

Heat skillet on medium heat with oil. Pound out chicken breasts to about same thickness to help the chicken cook evenly. Salt and pepper the chicken on each side. Place chicken breasts in oil to cook for about 5 minutes on each side or until juices run clear, depending on thickness. Set aside on paper towel when done and keep in a warm place.

Cut bacon strips in half and place in same skillet to fry. Once done, place them on paper towels. Keep the bacon grease in the skillet (you can remove some if it’s too much for you) and add chopped onion and brown sugar. Cook until onion is golden and everything has incorporated.

Place 2 half strips (1 full strip) on top of each chicken breast, spoon some of onion mixture on top of bacon, then top with some cheddar cheese. Microwave for a few seconds until melted.
