Smothered Chicken

Ingredients

• Chicken Marinade (prepackaged, or see below recipe)
• 4 Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
• 1 cup sliced onions
• 1 cup sliced mushrooms
• 1 teaspoon hickory smoke flavor (found on condiments aisle)
• 3 tablespoons butter or margarine
• 4 to 8 slices provolone cheese (use more or less to your liking)
• 4 slices cooked bacon

Chicken Marinade:
• 1 teaspoon basil leaves
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 3 tablespoons hickory smoke flavoring
• 1/4 cup white cooking wine
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons vinegar

Preparation

Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Marinade meat in covered bowl or plastic bag for at least 2 hours.

Marinate chicken as shown above, or follow directions on package if using pre-packaged marinade. While chicken is marinating, slice onions and mushrooms and cook your bacon.

Saute mushrooms and onions in butter and hickory smoke flavor for 3 to 5 minutes, or until onions are transparent but not brown and mushrooms are tender. Remove chicken from marinade, and grill for about 10 minutes.

Do not overcook chicken! While grilling, preheat oven on broil. After chicken is done, remove from grill and place in a shallow baking dish. Cover each breast with a strip of bacon, then provolone cheese, then some sauteed onions and mushrooms. Broil for 3 to 5 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly.
