The weather is getting warmer and cool suppers will become the norm around our house as summer approaches. Have your family try this and see if they notice how healthy it is.
It calls for grilled chicken and crispy bacon. I like to fry extra bacon when I fix it for breakfast and then keep the leftovers in the freezer to use when I need bacon bits for a recipe. I usually grill two extra chicken breasts when I prepare chicken breasts for dinner. I dice them and keep them in the freezer to use when I need dinner in a hurry. (See my recipe for Fool-Proof Chicken Breasts)
