A mouthwatering dish combining savory chicken, crispy bacon, and gooey cheddar cheese, topped with tangy barbecue sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 8 slices bacon
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
  • 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the bacon and drain on paper towels.
  3. Crumble the bacon into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
  4. Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil and season with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  5. In the same skillet, cook the chicken breasts for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  6. Pour barbecue sauce over the chicken, then add shredded cheddar cheese and sprinkle crumbled bacon on top.
  7. Transfer the skillet to your preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, until chicken is cooked through and cheese is melted.
  8. Top with chopped green onions and red pepper flakes, if desired, and let it rest before serving.

Notes

Feel free to swap bacon for turkey bacon or try a dairy-free cheese if needed.
