Time 3h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 (5 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 cup teriyaki marinade sauce
½ pound bacon
2 tablespoons butter
1 small onion, cut into long slices
1 small green bell pepper, cut into thin strips
1 (8 ounce) package fresh mushrooms, coarsely chopped
4 slices mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • To Marinate: Place chicken in a nonporous glass dish or bowl. Pour marinade over chicken and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate to marinate for 1 to 2 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Remove chicken from the marinade and place in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Reserve 1/3 cup marinade and discard the rest.
  • Bake chicken in the preheated oven for 20 to 30 minutes, or until cooked through and juices run clear.
  • Meanwhile, place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain and set aside.
  • In same skillet, melt butter over medium high heat. Saute onion, bell pepper and mushrooms for about 3 to 5 minutes. Add reserved 1/3 cup of marinade and simmer until soft. Drain and set onion mixture aside.
  • Top baked chicken with bacon strips. Add onion mixture and top each breast with a slice of cheese. Bake for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
