  • Author: Chef Mia
  • Total Time: 55 minute

Ingredients

– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 8 slices of bacon
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– 1 cup barbecue sauce (your favorite brand)

– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– ½ teaspoon salt
– Olive oil (for greasing)
– Fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)


Instructions

Creating Cowboy BBQ Bacon Cheddar Chicken can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Baking Dish: Grease a baking dish with olive oil to prevent sticking.
3. Season the Chicken: In a small bowl, mix the garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Rub this seasoning mixture evenly over the chicken breasts.
4. Cook the Bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
5. Wrap Chicken: Wrap each seasoned chicken breast with two slices of bacon. Secure with toothpicks if necessary.
6. Place Chicken in Dish: Arrange the bacon-wrapped chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish.
7. Add Barbecue Sauce: Pour half of the barbecue sauce over the chicken, making sure each piece is generously coated.
8. Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
9. Add Cheese: Remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the chicken. Drizzle the remaining barbecue sauce on top.
10. Return to Oven: Bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
11. Garnish: Remove the toothpicks from the chicken (if used) and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

By following these steps, you will have successfully created a mouthwatering Cowboy BBQ Bacon Cheddar Chicken dinner that everyone will adore.
