Bacon And Cheddar Chicken - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 slices bacon
4 boned chicken breasts or thighs

In a large skillet, cook bacon until crisp, then drain and crumble.
Discard all but 3 tablespoons drippings from skillet. Reserve skillet and bacon.
Dip chicken first into the egg, then into bread crumbs to coat completely.
