Griddle 101: Smothered Chicken Breast


Bacon Onion Smothered Chicken!

Hello Friends,

It’s 70 degrees in Ohio this week, and I am pumped! It’s so nice out, I was almost out there griddling in my swim trunks… just kidding. My wife would leave me if I embarrassed her like that. But seriously, I hope the weather’s warming up wherever you are.

This week’s recipe is Bacon Cheese Onion Chicken, and wow—this turned out even better than I expected. It’s so simple, just five ingredients, and it’s absolutely delicious.

Here’s the breakdown:

  • Chicken Prep: I pounded out the chicken, but next time I’ll butterfly it or cut it into thin cutlets for more even cooking. Some thick pieces needed extra attention on the griddle.
  • Seasoning: Just salt, pepper, and smoked paprika (I forgot how good smoked paprika is—grab some!). But honestly, you can use any chicken seasoning you like.
  • The 5 Ingredients: Onions, brown sugar, Colby Jack cheese, thick-cut bacon, and chicken. That’s it!

How It Cooks:

  1. Start with the bacon. Cook it about halfway before adding the chicken.
  2. Flip the chicken, then throw the onions on the griddle with the bacon grease and brown sugar.
  3. Once the chicken is done, pile it all up—chicken, onions, bacon, then cheese.

I will say, the cheese didn’t melt as well as I wanted since it was cold outside when I made this. Hopefully, next time it’s 80 degrees, and the cheese just melts on its own. Or, I might put the cheese on first and cover it with the hot onions to help it along.

Either way, you have to try this. It’s ridiculously easy, and I can’t recommend it enough. I did four chicken breasts, but next time I’ll cut them into thin cutlets and get eight pieces out of it.

Let me know if you give this a shot—I think you’re going to love it.

Thanks for being here, and as always, keep on griddling!
