5. Add a little more bacon grease or 1 teaspoon of olive oil to coat the bottom of skillet again. Add seasoned chicken breasts and cook over medium for 8 to 9 minutes per side or until cooked through.
6. Top each chicken breast with onions and bacon. Top with shredded cheese.
7. Place under broiler for 2 minutes or until cheese is melted. (If not using an oven-safe skillet, transfer chicken breasts to a pan before placing under broiler).
