Preparing the Chicken

Pat the chicken breasts dry, then season both sides with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium‑high heat. Sear the chicken for 4‑5 minutes per side until golden and just cooked through (internal temp ≈ 160°F). Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes before dicing into bite‑size cubes.

Cooking the Bacon

In the same skillet, add the bacon strips and cook over medium heat until crisp, about 3‑4 minutes per side. Remove with a slotted spoon onto paper towels to drain excess fat. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces that will scatter evenly through the filling.
