It all started with a picture on Facebook.
You know when people take pictures of their dinner and post it on Facebook? It’s kind of annoying, right?
Usually I could care less about what people are eating for dinner.
Well the other week, one of my friends from high school posted a picture of his dinner that his wife made him and it looked AMAZING. That meal caught my attention.
It was chicken wrapped in cheddar cheese and bacon.
Chicken + Bacon + Cheese
“Why have I not thought of that combination before?” I said as I kicked myself.
I asked my friend for the recipe and he and his wife kindly shared it with me. Later the next week I made it for dinner and the results were AWESOME! The chicken was moist, the cheese added a rich creamy flavor, and the bacon….well do I even need to say it? Anything is 100 times better with bacon!
My whole family loved it, including my picky eaters two kids.
Finding meals all of us enjoy is next to impossible.
I think it’s safe to say this is going to be a dinner staple at my house from now on!
Recipe Card
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/8 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp seasoned salt
- 6 strips bacon (uncooked)
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Place the chicken breasts on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper (the parchment paper makes clean up a breeze!)
- Sprinkle each piece of chicken with cheese, garlic powder and seasoned salt.
- Cut the slices of bacon in half and lay them over the tops of each piece of chicken.
- Bake for about 30 minutes at 350 degrees.
- After 30 minutes, turn the oven on broil for about 5-10 minutes until bacon on top is crispy. It is very important that you watch the chicken cook during this process to ensure it won't burn!
- Once the bacon is crisp, take the chicken out of the oven and enjoy!

Sounds great! Esp if the kids enjoy it!
I think having the kids enjoy this meal was the biggest plus about this recipe. Well, maybe except the bacon!
What a great combination of flavors and such simple recipe. Pinning this and adding to my menu for next week!
The simplicity of this recipe is one of the things I love most about it! I hope you have a wonderful time eating this next week!
This sounds sooo good! Thank you for sharing it with us at Sewlicious Home Decor! Pinned to the party board! 🙂

Anything with bacon sounds wonderful, doesn’t it? Thanks for letting me include this at your party!
Wow–that sounds fabulous–pinning!
It is rather fabulous if I do say so myself! Thanks for visiting Gretchen!
Bacon and cheese, how can you go wrong! Going to try this one tomorrow. Thank you!
You really can’t go wrong with that combo! Enjoy your dinner tomorrow!
I love chicken and bacon, if they could be friends they would be better friends than beef and bacon. I was so sad we picked up Mickey D’s tonight after 12a and they were running a limited menu so I didn’t get my chicken club. 🙁 I should make this next time instead! 😀
I hate it when I look forward to a certain menu item and then it’s not available! This would be a great option! It doesn’t take long to make & it will be healthier too!
Definitely sounds like something my family would love. They love everything with cheese!
Yes this is a great meal for cheese lovers! I hope you get to try it sometime. Thanks for stopping by!
This looks amazing! And easy too, my kind of meal, and yes Bacon is so yummy! Pinned! I would love it if you shared this at our Wowza weekend link party Carrie! http://mylove2create.blogspot.com/2014/02/wowza-weekend-link-party-42.html
I’m all about easy meals! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do! I just linked it up to your party–thanks so much for the invite!
I would love for you to share this on my link up party going on now at http://acowboylife.blogspot.com/2014/02/friday-favorites-link-party_13.html
Sure! I’m headed over there now!
This looks fabulous. Must try 🙂
It is fab! You’ll love it Debbie!
I bet my picky eater would eat this too! And yes… EVERYTHING is better with bacon! Thanks for sharing!

Well two picky eaters have already approved it so there’s a good chance you’ll have success with this!
You had me at bacon!
Ha ha! Love it! That should have been my tagline for this post!
