"Topped with bacon, caramelized onions, and zippy shredded cheese, this recipe comes together in no time. Plus, it cooks in one skillet, so it's easy to clean up." — Brent BeSaw

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
8 strips bacon
1 onion, sliced
1/4 cup packed brown sugar

This is fabulously easy and quite a crowd pleaser! The paring of the salty bacon and sweet sugared onions is just perfect and plates beautifully. Thanks for sharing, this recipe has saved my "bacon"(naturally no pun intended), on several pop in guest occasions.
My husband told me this was a keeper after one bite. He said he definitely wants to see this for dinner again. The sweet/salty/crunchy topping was delish! Simple to make, too. Next time I will flatten the chicken breasts out a bit to hold more of the yummy toppings.

This was easy and really good. I will make it with pork tenderloin next time. I also added a can of sliced mushrooms to the sauce and onions and it was good!! I used Maple bacon instead of regular to make it even more sweet.
So simple and so absolutely delicious! We truly enjoyed this recipe! It definitely met our seal of approval! Thanks for sharing!
My husband loved this, but then, who could resist bacon, cheese and carmelized onion with ANYTHING!? I did add some fresh garlic, can't cook without it. Definitely will be making this again, and loved the easy clean-up!
Made this for dinner last night and was a huge hit even with the kids. The combination of flavors is delicious! My step son said it is definitely a keeper!
My husband took one bite and said it was the best chicken recipe he'd had in a while! The onions came out perfectly sweet; I think they made the recipe. I only changed the recipe by pressing chicken tenderloins into bread crumbs after seasoning. Delicious!!
Since trying this the first time for my family,which loved it, I have purposely used individually wrapped breasts for myself when home alone! This recipe is awesome! The flavors blend so well! Thank you!
