Chicken with Corn and Edamame (quick meal)

4 ounces sliced bacon (about 4 slices)
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 large red onion, thinly sliced
2 cups frozen shelled edamame, thawed
1 1/2 cups frozen corn kernels

In a large skillet, over medium heat, fry the bacon until crisp, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Heat the oil over medium-high heat (same pan). I don't wipe out the bacon grease, but you can if you want it healthier. I've done it both ways and it gives it a lot of taste if you leave it. Besides, it already has bacon in it, right?

Season the chicken with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper. Cook through and transfer to a plate. Add the onion to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 8 minutes. Add the edamame and corn and cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes. Break the bacon into pieces and add them to the skillet. Stir in the remaining salt and pepper and chicken. Spoon onto individual plates and serve with the chicken.
