How to Make Bacon Cheddar Chicken Fillet Melt
- Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon and set aside on paper towels.
- Reserve 1 tablespoon of bacon drippings in the skillet. Add olive oil if needed.
- Add the sliced onion to the skillet. Cook and stir for 2-4 minutes, or until tender. Remove onion from the skillet and set aside.
- Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Add chicken to the skillet and cook for 6-8 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through. If needed, add a tablespoon of olive oil to prevent sticking.
- While the chicken cooks, toast the bread slices to your desired level of crispness.
- Spread 1 teaspoon of steak sauce on each slice of toasted bread.
- Layer the bottom slices of bread with chicken, bacon, onion, and cheddar cheese.
- Top with the remaining bread slices.
- Broil the sandwiches 4-6 inches from the heat for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
