ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts, boneless, skinless, pounded to 1/2-inch thickness
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- 1⁄4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1⁄4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 4 slices bacon
- 2 tablespoons white wine
- 8 ounces smoked gouda cheese, sliced thick
directions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- In an oven-safe skillet (NOT cast iron), cook bacon over medium heat or until crispy and fat-rendered. Set bacon slices aside on a paper towel to drain. Once cooled, crumble and set aside. Do not drain bacon fat from skillet.
- While bacon is cooking, season chicken breasts on both sides with thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. Then dust both wides of each breast with 1 tbs. flour each.
- Bring skillet to medium-high heat. Lightly brown both sides of chicken breasts for approximately five minutes each side. Don't worry if they don't cook through. Remove breasts to a clean plate, cover and set aside.
- Remove skillet from heat and deglaze with white wine. Remove from heat.
- Return breasts to skillet, arrange crumbled bacon evenly over both and arrange gouda slices atop bacon layer.
- Roast in oven for 10 minutes or until chicken is cooked through, and cheese has melted and begun to brown.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
<p>My name is Rebecca, but my family and friends call me Becky. I am 33 years old and live in Rochester, New York, USA. I am a life-long resident of Western New York and can't say as I'd ever want to live anywhere else. I grew up on a small dairy farm in rural Western New York and love country living. Although my husband and I live in a suburb right now, we hope someday to move back to our roots and live a peaceful country life. <br /><br />My husband and I have been married for 10 years. We have a beautiful 5-year-old daughter and a 3-year-old son. I am amazed at how quickly our kids are growing and developing. I read a lot about and hold my own personal skepticism regarding the affects of additives such as preservatives, hormones, artificial colorings, artificial sweeteners, caffeine, allergens, etc. With the increasing number of children and adults with food allergies, I am suspicious that the last century of our nation's food industry improvements have contributed. I'm doing the best I can to protect my family from the risks, but it is difficult to avoid every additive. I have friends and family with food allergies and know how difficult it is to cope with food restrictions. I enjoy the challenge of cooking for those with food allergies but can't imagine making it an every-day affair.</p>
