Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- Fine sea salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 garlic cloves , minced
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese , shredded
- 2 tablespoons dry Ranch seasoning
- 2-6 tablespoons bread crumbs with Italian seasoning
- 4 tablespoons bacon crumbled
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- In a small bowl combine the mayonnaise, garlic, dry Ranch seasoning and cheddar cheese.
- Lay each chicken breast on a cutting board, cover with plastic wrap and tenderize until ½ inch thick. Repeat with each breast. Transfer them to a baking dish lightly coated with cooking spray.
- Season each chicken breast with the fine sea salt and freshly ground pepper. Divide the mayonnaise mixture evenly on the top of each chicken breast, spreading out to the edges.
- Bake the chicken for 15 minutes, remove it from the oven and top each breast with bread crumbs, pressing down lightly to “catch”. The size of your chicken breasts will determine the amount of bread crumbs you use.
- Return them to the oven and bake for additional 15 minutes or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. The cooking time will vary depending on size.
- Remove the chicken and top with the bacon and serve.
