Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Boneless, skinless chicken breasts | 3 large |
| Thick-cut bacon | 6 slices |
| Cheddar cheese, shredded | 2 cups |
| Green onions, chopped | ⅓ cup |
| Salt and black pepper | To taste |
Instructions:
- Preheat & Prep Chicken:
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice each chicken breast horizontally to create thinner pieces. Season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper. - Par-Cook the Bacon:
While the oven heats, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat just until the fat begins to render. The bacon should be soft—not fully crisp—so it finishes cooking in the oven. - Initial Bake:
Arrange the seasoned chicken breasts in a baking dish and bake uncovered for 25 minutes. - Add Bacon & Continue Baking:
Remove the dish from the oven. Halve the bacon slices and place them over the chicken pieces. Return to the oven and bake for another 10 minutes. - Add Cheese & Finish:
Take the chicken out once more and sprinkle the shredded cheddar evenly over the top. Bake an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling. - Garnish & Serve:
Once out of the oven, sprinkle chopped green onions over the top. Serve hot and enjoy every cheesy, savory bite!
