Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet, cook the bacon slices over medium heat until crispy. Remove and set aside, leaving the drippings in the pan.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same skillet with bacon drippings, add sliced bell peppers and chopped onion. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until soft and caramelized.

  4. 4

    Grill the Chicken

    Place the seasoned chicken on the preheated grill. Grill each side for about 6-7 minutes, or until fully cooked. Add Swiss cheese slices on top during the last minute of grilling to melt.

Mashed Potatoes

  1. 5

    Boil the Potatoes

    Peel and chop the potatoes into quarters. Boil in salted water for 15-20 minutes or until fork-tender.

  2. 6

    Mash the Potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and return to the pot. Add butter, milk, salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.

Final Assembly

  1. 7

    Combine the Dish

    On each plate, place a serving of mashed potatoes, top with grilled chicken, sautéed peppers and onions, crumbled bacon, and drizzle hot honey over the top.

  2. 8

    Prepare the Green Beans

    Steam the green beans for 5-7 minutes until tender but still vibrant green. Serve alongside the chicken.
