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

  • salt1⁄4 teaspoon
  • lemon-pepper seasoning1⁄4 teaspoon
  • vegetable oil1 tablespoon
  • bacon8 slices
  • medium onion, sliced1
  • packed brown sugar1⁄4 cup
  • shredded colby-monterey jack cheese1⁄2 cup

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 1

    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.

  2. 2

    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.
