Instructions:

BACON: Add bacon strips to skillet and cook until crisp. Transfer the cooked bacon to a serving dish lined with paper towels. Cut into 1-inch pieces

CHICKEN: Dry the chicken with paper towels and season with salt, pepper and garlic. Set aside.

Heat the olive oil in a large deep pan. Add the chicken breasts and cook on each side over medium-high heat for about 4 minutes per side (for a total of 8 minutes) until golden brown. If the chicken is still pink in the centre, reduce the heat to medium and cook covered for several minutes until it is no longer pink in the centre. Remove chicken from pan and slice.
