Sun Dried Tomato and Bacon Chicken

My sister in law Summer was the one to find this great recipe.  Simple, quick and flavorful, my kind of meal.  Like my brother Eric, Mike really liked this as well.  Summer did suggest marinating the chicken in the dressing for a while before cooking it, I would agree.
 I forgot to do that step so mine was only in the marinate for an hour, but the longer the better.  Thanks Summer for a great recipe!



Sun-dried Tomato and Bacon Chicken 

Ingredients :
2 slices (1/2 ounce) bacon
1/4 cup sun-dried tomato vinaigrette dressing (I used 1/2 -3/4 cup)
4 (1 pound) boneless skinless chicken breast halves
2 tomatoes, chopped
About 1/4 Cup sun-dried tomatoes chopped up.
1 Tablespoon chopped fresh basil or 1 teaspoon dried basil
2 Tablespoons Parmesan cheese

Directions:

Cook bacon in a large pan until crisp and drain on paper towel.

Add chicken to large pan and brown on each side for about 2 minutes on regular heat.

Pour sun-dried tomato dressing over chicken and sprinkle with basil. Continue to cook chicken for 8 minutes or until done.

Remove chicken; place on serving dish and keep warm. Save the remaining dressing in the pan and add the chopped tomatoes to the pan cooking until heated through. Stir in the bacon.

Pour tomato mixture onto chicken and top with Parmesan cheese.

6*If you have time marinate your chicken breasts for 4-6 hours in the sun-dried tomato dressing. This will let the flavors infuse the chicken even more.
