Ingredients

2 slices bacon cooked & chopped
2 large chicken breasts halved horizontally
½ teaspoon Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup sour cream
¾ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon finely minced garlic
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried or fresh basil
½ teaspoon ground pepper
1 cup mozzarella cheese
Garnishes: sliced green onion or parsley.

Instructions

Prep: Turn the broiler to 500°F, move the rack to the top of the oven.
Start by cooking your bacon in a skillet that can be placed into the oven. Once the bacon has been cooked, remove it from the pan. Do not drain your bacon grease!
Then, make your chicken breasts thinner by pounding them out until they are similar size in thickness and season with some salt and pepper on both sides.
Cook chicken: Place the chicken into the pan that you used to cook the bacon, right in the bacon grease. Cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side. It is okay if the chicken is not fully cooked through as it will finish cooking in the oven.
Sour cream mixture: In a small bowl, combine the sour cream, parmesan cheese, oregano, basil, garlic, and pepper, mix until well blended.
Assemble: Now, place large spoonful's of the sour cream mixture onto each piece of chicken. Then, sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of the sour cream and chicken.
Bake: Proceed to broil the chicken for 2-3 minutes or until the chicken is melted and lightly browned. Chicken internal temperature should be 165 degree F, check to ensure the chicken is cooked all the way through.
Remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle with the prepared bacon, parsley, or green onion. Serve immediately and enjoy!
