Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (5 oz. each)
  • ½ tsp. Salt
  • ¼ tsp. Pepper
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 5 bacon strips, chopped
  • 1 tbsp. Butter

Directions

Flatten chicken breasts to an even thickness; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place flour in a large resealable plastic bag. Add chicken breasts one at a time, and shake to coat.

In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove to paper towels with a slotted spoon; drain, reserving 2 tbsp. Drippings. Cook chicken in butter and reserved drippings for 4-6 minutes on each side or until a meat thermometer reads 170 degrees. Remove and keep warm.
