- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 chicken breasts (use 4 thin chicken breasts, or use 2 large chicken breasts, sliced in half, horizontally)

- Top with shredded Cheddar cheese.
- Bake, uncovered, for about 20-30 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through. The cooking time will depend on the thickness of your chicken breasts.
My son and I LOVE this dish! I always make broccoli to go with it, but usually in a separate dish. I toss the florets in olive oil, coarse salt, and pepper, and then top them exactly like the chicken and bake at the same time. My 14 year old loves the taste and likes this crispy broccoli.
I made this tonight for dinner and it was super easy! It had a lot of flavor and was pretty darn good except for I’m wondering if I should have left the bacon bits uncooked and let the oven do the work because they were a little overdone with the cheese on top but otherwise so good!
I am so glad you liked it! I usually cook my bacon not overly crispy – I cook it until it’s cooked but still soft, which works well for this recipe, as the bacon continues to cook on top of the chicken.
Absolutely delicious and super easy! I use garlic salt instead of regular salt
I’m gonna make this this week. Sounds heavenly. Thanks for recipe
Absolutely delicious! Family loved it!
