Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 4 ounces cream cheese, room temp
- 3 green onions, minced
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon dry ranch dressing mix
- 4 slices bacon, sliced into halves or thirds
- Paprika for seasoning and color
- Hot sauce, optional
How to Make
-
Step 1: Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Combine softened cream cheese with green onion, dry ranch dressing mix and garlic clove, set aside.
-
Step 2: If necessary, pound chicken to an even thickness so it will cook evenly. Season chicken with salt, pepper and onion powder and place in an oven proof skillet or baking dish.
-
Step 3: Note - At this point, you can spread hot sauce over the chicken breasts. I use about a 1/2 tablespoon for a large breast - just a thin coating on the breast. I use a milder hot sauce like Texas Pete.
-
Step 4: Scoop 1/2 of cream cheese mixture onto chicken breasts and spread evenly on the chicken. Layer slices of bacon on top the cream cheese mixture, completely covering the chicken.
-
Step 5: Sprinkle the bacon with paprika and place in preheated oven. Bake for 30 minutes and serve.
