Bacon Chicken

6 slices of bacon
1 tbsp. of butter
1 tbsp. of olive oil
5 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
1 finely chopped onion
5 cloves of garlic, minced
1/8 tsp. of pepper
1/2 cup of chopped parsley (if desired) and
1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
# Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and cook the bacon in a 12" skillet until crisp, about 4 - 6 minutes. Meanwhile, season the chicken breasts with your favourite seasonings (ie. salt, pepper, garlic power, oregano, etc.).

# Crumble the bacon and set aside. Pour the bacon grease out of the skillet but don't wash or wipe it.

# Add the butter and olive oil to the same skillet. Sauté the chicken breasts in this mixture over medium heat, turning once until the chicken is cooked.

# Place the chicken in un-greased 12 X 8" baking dish. Cook the onion and garlic in drippings remaining in the skillet. Cook until the onion is softened, then stir in the pepper and cooked bacon. Spoon over the chicken breasts and sprinkle with parsley and cheese.
