Breakfast toasted cheese

This morning was day two of cleaning out the fridge and using up some odds and ends. I had fried up a bunch of bacon for last night's dinner and for some odd and amazing reason had some left over. I didnt feel like cooking up a whole ordeal of a breakfast this morning for the hubby since he is the only one eating...so I came up with this. I was thinking of just a fried egg sandwhich for him then the goofy foodie in me turned the light on...lol.

So a quick gather of eggs, bread, margarine, bacon, cheddar and American cheese and we had breakfast. Hubby likes his yolks runny (yuck lol) so I fried the egg first then started piling everything on. It got rave reviews from hubby and my kids (who were disappointed they only got to lick the plate).

I hope you let your imagination fly and have fun in the kitchen. Enjoy and I hope you liked it.

Bacon and Cheese stuffed Chicken breasts

It's been a long stressful day today but thanks to careful planning and making a meal menu for the week, dinner wasn't part of that stress. I know not every day is going to be a joy in the kitchen but it can be bearable if you let it be.

Since I have a hungry hubby it's time to get in that kitchen and start cooking. So please grab your aprons and won't you join me for a quick chicken dinner big enough to feed the hungriest of men.

Ingredients:

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts pounded flat

4 slicesBacon; cooked crumbled

1 1/2 ounce colby cheddar cheese; shredded

1 teaspoonCorn starch

2/3 cupChicken broth

2 tablespoonParsley; chopped

1 dashSalt & pepper

1/4 teaspoonPaprika 1/8 cup heavy whipping cream Directions: Cook bacon in large skillet till crisp, remove bacon and crumble Place bacon and cheese on one half of the breast Place the other half over on top of it Sprinkle chicken with salt, pepper and paprika Heat bacon grease to med-high heat Add chicken and cook 5 mins per side Reduce heat to med-low Cover and cook for 10 mins or until done Remove chicken and keep warm Stir cornstarch into chicken broth Add to skillet and bring to boil, stirring Cook 3 mins until thickened Add parsley and whipping cream The way I plated this tonight was I put the chicken down sprinkled a bit more cheese over the top of the chicken then spooned the gravy over that. I do believe it was a success tonight. As you can see the kids were fixed on hubby's every move and bite tonight. It got rave reviews and was worth the time it took to cook it up. I hope you try this one...it's quick easy and very filling. Enjoy everyone.
