Bacon Cream Cheese Chicken


  • Author: Stephanie

Description

 Ingredients:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened

  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese

  • ½ cup cooked bacon, chopped (about 6 slices)

  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise or sour cream

  • 2 green onions, chopped (optional, for garnish)

 Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven:
    Set to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.

  2. Prepare the chicken:
    Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
    Arrange them in the baking dish.

  3. Make the creamy bacon mixture:
    In a bowl, mix together softened cream cheese, mayonnaise (or sour cream), half of the chopped bacon, mozzarella, and cheddar cheese.

  4. Top the chicken:
    Spread the creamy mixture evenly over each chicken breast.

  5. Bake:
    Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, or until chicken is fully cooked (internal temp 165°F / 74°C).

  6. Add the finishing touch:
    Sprinkle the remaining bacon over the top and broil for 2–3 minutes until bubbly and golden.

  7. Serve:
    Garnish with chopped green onions and serve warm with mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed veggies.
