- Cook bacon in 12″ skillet until crisp, about 4-6 minutes. Crumble bacon and set aside. Pour bacon grease out of skillet, but don’t wash or wipe it. Add butter and olive oil to skillet.
- Butterfly the 3 chicken breasts in half so you have 6 pieces. Saute chicken breasts in the bacon grease butter & oil over medium heat, turning once, until chicken is almost cooked and just barely pink in center. The internal temperature should be 155 degrees F. This should take 8-10 minutes. Place chicken in ungreased 12×8″ baking dish.
