Well, what can I say about this dish? Chicken cooked in a bit of bacon grease with garlic and served with fresh Parmesan and basil on a bed of pasta. Oh mama. The gorgeous hunk of Parmesan came all the way from Italy.
1/2 cup firmly packed chopped bacon (4 oz.), add more for nibbling
4 cloves garlic, pressed or minced
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut crosswise in 1/4 inch strips

1 T. oregano or Italian seasoning
salt & pepper
2 cups hot cooked & buttered spaghetti (6oz.)
1/2 cup grated fresh Parmesan Cheese
