Chicken and Bacon

Bechamel Sauce

Method

Preparing the Chicken

  1. 1

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from grill and let rest.

  2. 2

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Making the Bechamel Sauce

  1. 3

    Create the Base

    In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the flour and whisk continuously for about 1-2 minutes to form a roux.

  2. 4

    Add Milk

    Gradually add the milk, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Continue to cook and whisk until the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 5

    Season the Sauce

    Add salt and black pepper to taste, stirring to combine. Remove from heat and set aside.

Assembling the Dish

  1. 6

    Layer Ingredients

    On a serving plate, place the grilled chicken breasts. Top each breast with the bechamel sauce, followed by crispy bacon, sliced tomatoes, and shredded fontina cheese.

  2. 7

    Drizzle Ranch and Garnish

    Drizzle house ranch dressing over the top and sprinkle with chopped chives to finish.
