A delicious and easy-to-prepare dish that combines the savory flavors of ranch seasoning, the smokiness of turkey bacon, and the creaminess of cheddar cheese.
Ingredients
Scale:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 packet of ranch seasoning mix (about 1 oz)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
6 slices of turkey bacon
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, drizzle the olive oil over the chicken breasts. Season them generously with salt and pepper, then sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix evenly over both sides of the chicken.
Take the turkey bacon slices and wrap each chicken breast with 1.5 slices, securing the ends if necessary.
Arrange the wrapped chicken breasts in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature reaches 165°F/75°C) and the bacon is crispy.
Remove the baking dish from the oven and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of each chicken breast. Return to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Once done, let the chicken rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, then serve warm.
