Ingredients
  • 6 to 8 slices bacon
  • 4 thin cut chicken breasts
  • kosher salt, pepper, seasoning blend of choice (optional)
  • 4 to 6 ounces cream cheese with jalapenos (picture example in post above) at room temp
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (I used Mexican blend)
  • Optional: chopped cilantro or green onions for garnish
Instructions

  1. Set a skillet over medium heat and use kitchen scissors to cut the bacon directly into the skillet in bite size pieces. Cook 7 to 8 minutes, stirring a few times and remove when cooked and put on paper towels to drain excess grease.

  2. Place the chicken in a casserole dish and season with kosher salt, pepper, and seasoning blend of choice if desired.

  3. Spread the cream cheese with jalapenos over the chicken and add the shredded cheese over top.

  4. Cover with foil and place in a 375 degree oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and sprinkle the cooked bacon over top and cook 5 to 10 more minutes.

    Note: This cook time is for thin cut chicken, regular cut chicken will take longer.

  5. Garnish with cilantro or green onions if desired.
