Protein

2 pieces Chicken breast

4 slices Bacon

Vegetables

1 cup, diced Bell pepper (red)

1 medium, diced Onion

3 cloves, minced Garlic

1 tsp Celtic sea salt

1 tsp Italian seasoning

Method

Preparation

Prepare Chicken and Bacon

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and paprika on both sides. In a skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove and set aside on paper towels.

Cook Vegetables

In the same skillet with the bacon fat, add diced onions and bell peppers. Sauté for about 5 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

Assembly

Combine Ingredients

In a baking dish, place the seasoned chicken breasts. Top with the sautéed vegetables, and then pour the tomato sauce over the top. Crumble the crispy bacon on top and sprinkle with Italian seasoning.

Add Cheese

Finally, add a generous layer of shredded mozzarella cheese over the chicken and vegetables.

Cooking

Bake

Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

Serving

Serve

Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
