    Oh, you guys, I have the best recipe in the whole entire world. Seriously. It's so incredibly easy where it doesn't even need a recipe! I just had to share it with you all because this chicken really is out-of-this-world. You gotta try it, if you already haven't.

    It's definitely cheesy and loaded with bacon pieces, but it isn't JUST that. Sorta. Kinda. Maybe it is. Yikes!

    We hardly ever have whole chicken breasts for dinner or even for lunch, especially with bacon. Man, this is a two-meat kind of dish. Sounds like something my meat loving husband would say.

    I will say, having a well-seasoned cast iron skillet really helps with the flavor when cooking the chicken. If you do not already have one, please do yourself a favor and purchase one. And use it all of the time, the seasoning is wonderful once it is built up.

    No need for a cast iron, that's okay, you can use any ole pan, but you are missing out on a little extra flavor. Those skillets have been the best thing I have ever invested in. Looking for one, here's the one I used for these chicken breasts.

    I also used the same pan to cook the bacon in. Why dirty up another, especially when it adds MORE flavor to the skillet? Heck yeah, baby.

    Any who, please make this cheesy bacon chicken breasts. They are great with fresh vegetables or even on top of a salad. Lately, I have started to crave salads. Hello spring!

      Chelsea, I love these cheesy chicken breasts! YUM! They qualify as healthy in my book, and look perfectly scrumptious. My boys would be all over this dinner 🙂 I love how you made it super easy for even the busiest home cook on a Monday night!

      Why 12 pieces of bacon?

        Hi Sandra. The recipe calls for 6 pieces of bacon.

          The recipe ingredients list shows the bacon twice, implying that you need 12 pieces. That's why she asked that question. Looks like it is definitely worth a try, 6 or 12!

      Do you cook the chicken first before placing in oven?

      I grilled the chicken then did the cheese and bacon in the oven for a few minutes. It looked great and tasted amazing for such a simple recipe. I'll definitely be doing it again!
