Help me brainstorm dinner- Need answer sorta fast

Okay, here’s the deal. My creativity is failing me, and I’ve already got my chicken breasts almost defrosted.

I’ve got red potato wedges and carrots roasting in the oven with some garlic (okay, a lot of garlic. I like garlic!), so I’ve got about an hour to get the rest of this meal together. I’ve got:

chicken breasts
bacon
onion
garlic (naturally)
mozzarella, parmesan, and a little bit of cheddar cheese
about half a green pepper, but I don’t see that working with the rest of this stuff
wine, if I wanna pull together a quick sauce
salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, garlic powder

You can assume I have some other basic stuff too. I am at a culinary loss here, people! Help a lady out!

I’d cook the bacon til crispy enough to crumble, then set aside. Dice the chicken breasts and sautee them in the bacon drippings. Then toss the cooked chicken and crumbled bacon in with the potatoes and carrots, and sprinkle some parmesan on top.

Well, I got impatient and decided to kinda go with the old standby:

I cut my onion up into thin slices, threw that in a pan with some butter and some more garlic. While that got all brown and delicious, I cut my chicken into strips. Salt, pepper, garlic powder. Remove onions, brown chicken on both sides, remove from pan. Add ~glass wine and scrape scrape scrape the pan, throw a little deli mustard in there, salt pepper garlic powder again, everybody back in the pool. Add a little butter, cover, let sit for a little while.

I’m gonna plate the veggies on bottom, chicken on top, sauce on everyone. Pretty basic but we’re headed towards Yumsterdam.

Sounds good, but you can’t mention bacon and then not use it! Maybe you could serve it for dessert. :smiley:
