01
Step 1
Start by cooking the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Turn it now and then so it browns evenly, which should take about 10 minutes. Once it’s crispy, take the bacon out and let it drain on some paper towels. When it’s cool enough to handle, chop it into roughly 1-inch pieces.

Step 2
Next, add the chicken, chopped bell pepper, sliced green onion, and the bacon pieces back into the skillet. Turn the heat down to medium-low and cook everything together, stirring occasionally, until the peppers are soft and the chicken is warmed through—this usually takes about 7 to 10 minutes. Finish by seasoning with salt and pepper to your liking.

How to serve
Pair this dish with steamed rice, quinoa, or a fresh green salad to balance the flavors. A squeeze of lemon juice or a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley can add a bright finish. It also goes well with crusty bread to soak up any juices.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a pan or microwave to keep the chicken tender. Avoid freezing, as the peppers may lose their texture.
