Ingredients
  

  • 4 pieces Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
  • 4 oz Cream Cheese (Softened)
  • 1/4 cup Mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup Cheddar Cheese (Shredded)
  • 4 slices Bacon (Cooked and Crumbled)
  • 1/4 cup Green Onions (Sliced)
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Smoked Paprika
  • to taste Salt and Black Pepper

Equipment

  • 9x13 Baking Dish Glass or ceramic works best.
  • Mixing Bowl Medium sized for the topping.
  • Meat Thermometer Crucial for juicy chicken.

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Place them in the prepared baking dish.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese and mayonnaise until smooth. Stir in half of the cheddar cheese and half of the green onions.
  4. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the top of each chicken breast. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese and the crumbled bacon on top.
  5. Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  6. Remove from oven and garnish with the remaining green onions. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Ensure the chicken breasts are of even thickness for uniform cooking. If they are very thick, pound them down slightly before seasoning.
