Best Ever Baked Chicken. No, Really.
I made dinner tonight and it was GOOOOOOOOD. So, of course, I will share it with you.
The best part, it was SUPER DUPER easy.
Ingredients:
4 Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
4 Pieces of Bacon, cut in half
8 slices of Monterey Jack Cheese (I used New Zealand Monterey Jack from Trader Joe’s, it has a bit of a kick)
Seasoned Salt
Directions:
Spray a baking dish with Pam or Olive Oil
Place chicken breasts in pan
Sprinkle generously with Seasoned Salt
Place two (half) pieces of bacon on each piece of chicken, to cover it as completely as possible
Place in a 350 oven and bake for 40 minutes
Turn on the broiler ( make sure the chicken isn’t too close to the broiling unit)
Broil until the bacon is crisped
Top each breast with two slices of cheese
Place under broiler until cheese melts
Serve and enjoy!

Okay, that DOES sound really good.
And it reminds me of a similar recipe from the Sonoma Diet Cookbook which we love here: marinate chicken breasts in Italian dressing for 30+ minutes, then grill until done. Top each breast with a slice of tomato, a leaf (or two) of basil, and a small strip of sliced mozza. Serve when cheese is mostly melted. Mmm. I add roasted garlic in there, too, if I think about it early enough to roast garlic in time.
Thanks! I plan on trying your recipe soon!
