Method

Chicken and Bacon Preparation

  1. 1

    Season the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Rub the mixture over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are evenly coated.

  2. 2

    Cook the Bacon

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

  3. 3

    Prepare the Breading

    In one bowl, place the all-purpose flour. In another bowl, whisk together the egg and milk.

  4. 4

    Bread the Chicken

    Dip each seasoned chicken breast first into the milk and egg mixture, then into the flour, coating thoroughly.

  5. 5

    Fry the Chicken

    In the same skillet used for bacon, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, fry the breaded chicken for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Pimento Cheese Spread Preparation

  1. 6

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine cream cheese, sharp cheddar cheese, pimentos, mayonnaise, garlic powder, and salt. Mix until well combined and smooth.
