Best Chicken Breast Recipes: Million Dollar Baked Chicken Breast (+More Great Meals To Make!)
Ingredients
- 8 strips bacon (thick cut is preferred, crisped and chopped)
- 2 lbs chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- ½ cup cheddar cheese (shredded, sharp cheddar is best)
- ¼ cup green onions (sliced)
- each, salt & pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) while you crisp your bacon.8 strips bacon
- Prepare your chicken breasts so that they have been rinsed and pat dry using paper towels. Trim any excess fat as needed. Arrange in an even layer in the bottom of your baking dish.2 lbs chicken breasts

Equipment You May Need
Notes
- My 2 pounds of chicken breasts can yield anywhere between 3-6 pieces of boneless, skinless chicken breast. If you end up with larger chicken pieces, I would suggest cutting them in half (butterfly-style) or pounding them out into thinner cutlets.
- 8 ounces of cream cheese is equal to 1 package (1 brick).
- You can opt to use less of the cream cheese, even half as much, to reduce the overall calories per portion of this chicken recipe.
- Soften your cream cheese at room temperature by setting it out for about 30 minutes before mixing with ingredients.
- Mayo brands matter (at least to me)! Use the best of the mayonnaise brands like Hellmann's Best Foods, or Duke's.
- Have a member of the family that doesn't like mayo? That's me too! Trust me, they won't know there's any in the meal.
