Loaded Chicken Breasts for One
Description
These chicken breasts loaded with baked potato fixings are a fast one-skillet meal for busy weeknights.
Ingredients
•
2 slices bacon
•
2 skinless chicken breasts
•
salt and ground black pepper to taste
•
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
•
1 cup baby spinach leaves
•
1/4 cup sour cream
•
1 tablespoon thinly sliced chives
Directions
1
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook bacon slices, turning occasionally, until crispy, about 10 minutes. Place on a plate to cool. Crumble with your fingers and set aside.
2
Cook chicken breasts in the bacon grease over medium heat until browned on one side, about 5 minutes. Flip over and cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 5 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Season with salt and pepper.
3
Arrange Cheddar cheese on top of each breast and let melt.
4
Arrange baby spinach on a serving plate. Place the chicken on top. Top with sour cream, crumbled bacon, and chives.
