Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Seasoning

  • 2 boneless chicken breasts
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • Salt to taste
  • Freshly cracked black pepper to taste

For Cooking and Flavor

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 slices smoked turkey bacon
  • 4 slices plant-based cheese
  • 1 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Pat the boneless chicken breasts dry with paper towels to ensure a nice sear. Season both sides evenly with garlic powder, onion powder, a pinch of salt, and freshly cracked black pepper. Set aside while your skillet heats.
  2. Cook the Smoked Turkey Bacon: In a large skillet, warm a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add smoked turkey bacon slices and cook until crispy on both sides. Remove and set aside, reserving any rendered fat in the skillet to flavor the chicken.
  3. Sear the Chicken: Increase the heat slightly and place the seasoned chicken breasts in the skillet. Sear for 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. The reserved bacon fat adds an amazing depth of flavor as you cook.
  4. Add Vegetarian Worcestershire Sauce and Cheese: Lower the heat to medium-low. Brush the chicken breasts lightly with vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), then top each with slices of plant-based cheese. Cover the skillet with a lid to melt the cheese evenly, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Finish with Fresh Parsley and Lemon Juice: Once the cheese has melted, drizzle fresh lemon juice over the chicken and sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top for a vibrant, fresh touch right before serving. Slice the crispy smoked turkey bacon on top or serve alongside for maximum flavor.

Notes

  • Make sure the chicken is dry before seasoning to get a beautiful golden crust.
  • Use a heavy skillet such as cast iron or stainless steel for best heat distribution and sear.
  • Covering the skillet helps the plant-based cheese melt smoothly without burning.
  • Taste and add extra vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) or lemon juice if needed for a bright finish.
  • Let the cooked chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing to keep juices locked in.
