Ingredients

4 (5 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

1 cup teriyaki marinade sauce

0.5 pound bacon

2 tablespoons butter

1 small onion, cut into long slices

1 small green bell pepper, cut into thin strips

1 8 ounce package fresh mushrooms, coarsely chopped

4 slices mozzarella cheese

Instructions

Step 1
Gather all ingredients.
Step 2
Marinate the chicken: Place chicken in a nonporous glass dish or bowl. Pour teriyaki marinade over chicken and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.
Step 3
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Step 4
Remove chicken from the marinade and place in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Reserve 1/3 cup marinade and discard the rest.
Step 5
Bake chicken in the preheated oven until cooked through and juices run clear, 20 to 30 minutes.
Step 6
Meanwhile, place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until evenly brown. Drain and set aside.
Step 7
Melt butter in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms for about 3 to 5 minutes. Add reserved 1/3 cup marinade and simmer until soft. Drain and set onion mixture aside.
Step 8
Top baked chicken with bacon strips. Add onion mixture and top each breast with a slice of cheese. Bake until cheese is melted and bubbly, another 10 to 15 minutes.
Step 9
Serve and enjoy!
