Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts and coat them evenly with the marinade. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Bacon

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

  3. 3

    Prepare the Onions and Mushrooms

    In the same skillet with the reserved bacon grease, add sliced onions and mushrooms. Sauté until the onions are translucent and mushrooms are tender, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside.

Grilling

  1. 4

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  2. 5

    Assemble the Muther Clucker

    Once the chicken is grilled, place each breast on a serving plate. Top with sautéed onions, mushrooms, two slices of crispy bacon, and a generous amount of cheddar cheese. Drizzle with apple bourbon sauce.
