Instructions

Prepare the Chicken
Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Heat a small amount of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken for 5 to 6 minutes per side until browned and fully cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Make the Sauce
In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup or honey, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar.

Pour the sauce into the skillet and bring to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for 2 to 3 minutes to thicken slightly. Return the cooked chicken and chopped turkey bacon to the skillet and toss to coat with the sauce.
