How To Make Baconified Marry-Me Chicken Recipe
- First, heat up the olive oil in your pan over medium heat. Add in the chicken breasts and cook ’em up until they’re golden brown on both sides. This should take around 4-5 minutes on each side.
- While your chicken’s cookin’, in a mixing bowl, combine honey and mustard, stir til they’re well mixed.
- Once your chicken is suitably golden, remove it from the pan, and place it aside for a bit because it’s bacon time!
- In the same pan, add your diced bacon and garlic. Stir and cook them until your bacon is nice and crispy.
- Add your chicken back into the pan, pour over your honey-mustard goodness, and let it simmer until the chicken is cooked thoroughly and soaked up with all that flavor. Sprinkle over the shredded cheese and cover the pan until it’s all gooey and melted.
Tips For The Best Results
- Ensure the chicken is no longer pink inside and the juices run clear.
