Ginger-Soy Chicken with Mozzarella, Bacon, Bell Peppers & MushroomsGinger-Soy Chicken with Mozzarella, Bacon, Bell Peppers & Mushrooms — a 40-minute dinner recipe with 12 ingredients, serving 6.Ingredients

12 slices bacon

1.02 kg chicken breasts, boneless skinless

6 cloves garlic

3 (2 ½ cm) pieces ginger root

3 green bell peppers

¾ (227 g) block mozzarella cheese

3 red bell peppers

0.68 kg white mushrooms

1 ½ medium yellow onions

honey

rice vinegar

soy sauce

Instructions

Preheat oven to 205°C (400°F).

Wash and dry the fresh produce.

Peel and mince ginger and garlic; place both in a small bowl along with soy sauce, vinegar, and honey. Whisk to combine the sauce.

Holding a knife parallel to the cutting board, cut the chicken in half horizontally to form thin fillets; divide between two baking dishes. Pour half of the sauce over the chicken and turn to coat (reserve remaining sauce for later use).

Place baking dishes in the oven (it doesn't have to be fully heated) and bake until chicken is almost cooked through, 18-20 minutes.

Meanwhile, preheat a large pot over medium-high heat.

Once the pot is hot, working in batches if necessary, add bacon and cook until crispy, 3-5 minutes per side. Remove bacon to a paper towel-lined plate. (Reserve pot with drippings for later use.)

While the bacon cooks, using a clean cutting board, trim, seed, and thinly slice bell peppers; place in a large bowl.

Thinly slice mushrooms and add to the bowl with the bell peppers.

Peel, halve, and slice onions into thin half-moons; add to the bowl.

Return pot (with drippings) to medium heat; add veggies and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 7-8 minutes.

Meanwhile, thinly slice cheese.

When the chicken is almost cooked through, remove from oven. Change oven setting to broil on high.

Layer chicken with bacon and cheese. Return baking dishes to the oven and broil until cheese is melted and chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes; remove from oven.

When the veggies are done, add remaining sauce to the pot, stir to combine, and continue to cook until heated through, 2-3 minutes more. Remove from heat.

To serve, divide veggies and chicken between plates or bowls. Enjoy!
