Get Ready for a Flavor Explosion

To start, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). While it’s warming up, prepare a delicious mixture of garlic, salt, and pepper to slather onto your chicken breasts. Place them in an oven-safe pan, drizzle with olive oil spray, and bake for 35 minutes.

The Magic Happens

During the last minute of baking, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C). Meanwhile, cook four slices of bacon in the microwave for 1 minute 30 seconds, flipping halfway through. Shred 1/2 cup of sharp cheddar cheese (regular or low-fat) and set aside.

The Final Touches

Remove the chicken from the oven and top each breast with a strip of crispy bacon, a drizzle of your favorite BBQ sauce, and a sprinkle of shredded cheese. Return the pan to the oven for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Time to Indulge!

And that’s it! Your savory chicken breast recipe is ready to be devoured. Serve with your favorite sides, such as baked sweet potatoes and green beans, and enjoy the oohs and aahs from your family and friends.
