Forget bland chicken breasts, instead, try my million dollar baked chicken breast that is covered in melted cheese and has tons of flavor! With crispy bacon and 3 different cheeses, you'll never have boring chicken for dinner again!
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) salt & pepper (to taste)
Crisp. Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Meanwhile, use the time to crisp 8 strips of bacon.
Combine. In your medium-sized mixing bowl, combine 8 ounces of softened cream cheese, ¼ cup mayonnaise, 1 cup mozzarella cheese, ½ cup cheddar cheese, ¼ cup green onions, and salt & pepper to taste.
Prep. Rinse 2 pounds of the chicken breasts under cool water and pat them dry with paper towels. If needed, trim any excess fat. Then arrange them in an even layer in your baking dish.
Top the chicken. Use your rubber spatula to spread the cheese mixture over the chicken breasts in an even layer. Then, top with any remaining cheddar cheese if desired.
Bake. Place the chicken in the oven and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30-40 minutes, or until the internal temperature of your chicken breasts is at least 165°F (74°C). Check a chicken breast in the center of the dish for doneness by either cutting into it or using a meat thermometer.
Serve. Remove the baking dish from the oven and serve immediately. Garnish with additional bacon and green onions when serving.
