Bacon Chicken Salad Recipe
Ingredients:
1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts – pounded to ½ inch thickness
1/2 lb. bacon
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 green onions – sliced
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 tsp. onion powder
Salt & pepper
Directions:
Chop the bacon, then cook the bacon bits over medium/high heat in a large skillet until they are crispy. Remove from the skillet and set on a plate lined with paper towels to drain the grease.
Sprinkle the ¼-inch thick chicken pieces with the garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. In the same pan, cook the chicken breasts in the bacon grease over medium heat for 3 – 4 minutes on each side. Remove from the skillet and set aside to cool, then remove to the refrigerator to chill.
Once the chicken is chilled, chop it into bite-sized pieces or shred and toss in a large mixing bowl along with the bacon, mayonnaise, and green onions, stirring well to combine. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste, if desired.
