Cooking for one can occasionally be a hassle. This is one of my favorite dishes; it is quick, easy, tasty, and a fantastic way to use up leftover chicken. Serve over rice, couscous, noodles, or leave the starch out for a low-carb option.

Ingredients
- 3 slices bacon
- ¾ cup cubed, cooked chicken
- ½ red bell pepper, chopped into 1-inch pieces
- 1 green onion, chopped
- 1 pinch salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste (Optional)
Instructions
- Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Remove bacon slices and drain on paper towels. When cool enough to handle, chop bacon into 1-inch pieces.
- Add chicken, bell pepper, green onion, and bacon to the skillet. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook until bell pepper has softened and chicken is heated through, 7 to 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Bacon fat can be drained from the pan without compromising the dish.
