Ingredients
– 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 6 ounces softened cream cheese
– 1/4 cup mayonnaise
– 1/2 cup crumbled crispy bacon (about 8 slices)
– 1/2 cup chopped green onions (about 4 onions)
– 1.5 cups shredded Colby Jack cheese
Instructions
1-Preheat your oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C), which ensures even cooking and helps the flavors meld perfectly.
2-Mix the creamy ingredients: In a medium bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, bacon crumbles, chopped green onions, and half of the shredded Colby Jack cheese until smooth.
3-Prepare the chicken: Place the thinly cut or pounded chicken breasts in a baking dish, then spread this creamy mixture evenly over them. Top it all with the remaining cheese for that irresistible golden finish.
4-Bake the chicken: Bake uncovered for 30 to 40 minutes, checking that the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safety and tenderness.
5-Garnish and serve: Once done, garnish with extra bacon and green onions before serving. The whole process takes about 10 minutes to prepare and 30 to 40 minutes to cook, totaling 40 to 50 minutes.
