This is not a healthy dish by any means, but it is delicious. The chicken breasts turn out juicy and tender and are topped with a layer each of bacon and melted, browned smoked gouda. Yummm!

Time 45m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 chicken breasts, boneless, skinless, pounded to 1/2-inch thickness
1 teaspoon thyme
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons flour
4 slices bacon
2 tablespoons white wine
8 ounces smoked gouda cheese, sliced thick

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • In an oven-safe skillet (NOT cast iron), cook bacon over medium heat or until crispy and fat-rendered. Set bacon slices aside on a paper towel to drain. Once cooled, crumble and set aside. Do not drain bacon fat from skillet.
  • While bacon is cooking, season chicken breasts on both sides with thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. Then dust both wides of each breast with 1 tbs. flour each.
  • Bring skillet to medium-high heat. Lightly brown both sides of chicken breasts for approximately five minutes each side. Don't worry if they don't cook through. Remove breasts to a clean plate, cover and set aside.
  • Remove skillet from heat and deglaze with white wine. Remove from heat.
  • Return breasts to skillet, arrange crumbled bacon evenly over both and arrange gouda slices atop bacon layer.
  • Roast in oven for 10 minutes or until chicken is cooked through, and cheese has melted and begun to brown.
