Chicken and Bacon Melt

You'll also need:
a large frying pan, cling film, a small roasting tin and something flat to bash the chicken flat!

ingredients:

• 4 rashers of smoked back bacon
• a little vegetable or sunflower oil for frying
• 2 chicken breast fillets - skinless
• two handfuls of grated extra mature cheddar cheese
• some plain flour
• 1 egg - lightly beaten
• 1 tablespoon of water
• salt and pepper

instructions:

How to cook Chicken and Bacon Melt

1. Put some flour on a plate and mix in a little salt and pepper.
2. Put the egg into a bowl and lightly beat with a fork.
3. Put your chicken fillets (one at a time) between large pieces of cling film.
4. Bash with something flat and bashable (not too hard or you will tear the fillet).
5. Be careful as you just want to make them even thickness so they cook quickly and evenly, so don't bash them too thin.
6. Heat your frying pan and add the bacon - no need to add any oil at this stage. Cook the bacon to however you fancy, I like mine nice and crisp. 
7. Remove the bacon and set aside. No need to wash the pan.
8. Dip each fillet first in the flour, then the egg and then into the flour again.
9. Put your grill on to heat up.
10. Add a little oil to the frying pan and heat it up. Fry the chicken fillets in the hot oil for about 3 minutes each side. Check they are cooked through.
11. When they're done, transfer them to a small roasting/baking tin.
12. Top each fillet with two of the cooked rashers of bacon and a good handful of cheese, pop under the grill till the cheese melts.
13. Serve with chips and salad.
