Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 6 slices Thick-cut bacon
- 1 cup Crumbled feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Start by seasoning the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Set them aside.
Step 2
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Step 3
Once the olive oil is hot, add the chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove the chicken from the pan and keep it warm by covering it with foil.
Step 4
In the same skillet, add the bacon slices. Cook them over medium heat until crispy, about 4-5 minutes on each side. Once cooked, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease. Chop the bacon into bite-sized pieces.
Step 5
Reduce the skillet heat to low and return the cooked chicken to the pan. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the chicken breasts.
Step 6
Scatter the chopped bacon pieces on top of the feta cheese, allowing the flavors to meld together for 2-3 minutes on low heat.
Step 7
Optional: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and extra flavor before serving.
Step 8
Serve the chicken warm with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a crisp salad. Enjoy!
