Many of you have asked us to share our first thoughts upon arriving in the Philippines. Now that we are entering our fourth week here and things aren’t quite as new (everything is still very new!) maybe I can pick out a few things. I can tell you that Brian’s impressions and mine are very different, so I will just share mine for now. (more…)

1 pound thick cut bacon, chopped
1 onion, chopped

Heat a large skillet to medium heat and fry bacon until crisp, draining and reserving some of the fat. Pat cooked bacon dry with paper towels; set aside. In the same skillet, sauté onion in bacon fat until tender. Add to bacon and set aside.
In same skillet, on high heat, quickly braise the chicken breasts on both sides in about a tablespoon of bacon fat. Place browned chicken in a 9×13 inch (lightly greased, if necessary) baking dish; pour stir-fry sauce over chicken, then spoon salad dressing onto each breast. Sprinkle with cheese and top with the bacon mixture.
Bake uncovered in preheated oven for 30 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.
