Ingredients

4 servings
  1. 4Chicken Breasts (Boneless, Skinless)
  2. 1 lbBacon
  3. 8 ozBaby Portabella Mushrooms (although any small, fresh, sliced should do)
  4. 10 ozWhite Mexican Melting Cheese (or Monterey Jack Queso)
  5. 4 dashSeasoned Salt
  6. 4 dashCumin
  7. 4 dashParsley (dried)

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Fry bacon, crumble, and set aside, reserving some of the bacon grease (1-2 Tbsp...depends on the amount of mushrooms you opt to use).

  2. 2

    Sprinkle chicken with salt, cumin, and parsley on each side (can use however much you want, but go lighter on the cumin because it can be overwhelming otherwise).

  3. 3

    Sear chicken in a skillet over medium-high heat until no longer pink, and set aside.

  4. 4

    Saute mushrooms in reserved bacon grease over medium heat. Use more/less mushrooms depending on your taste, and adjust the amount of cheese you use later accordingly. Also, any fresh, smaller variety mushroom should do.

  5. 5

    When the water has cooked off of the mushrooms, arrange your chicken breasts on top of them in the skillet. Spoon/pour cheese over the chicken.

  6. 6

    You can opt to sprinkle a little more parsley on top of the cheese for a bit of color.

  7. 7

    Cover skillet, reduce heat, and simmer until the cheese melts through the mushrooms.

  8. 8

    Sprinkle crumbled bacon on top of the chicken and mushrooms and serve.
