Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly cut or pounded
  • 6 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup crispy bacon, crumbled (about 8 slices)
  • 1/2 cup green onions, chopped (about 4 onions)
  • 1.5 cups Colby Jack cheese, shredded

Garnish:

  • Crumbled bacon
  • Green onions

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare the Mixture: In a medium-sized bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, bacon crumbles, green onions, and half of the shredded Colby Jack cheese until well combined.
  3. Assemble the Dish: Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish and spread the cheese mixture evenly over the top. Sprinkle the remaining Colby Jack cheese over the mixture.
  4. Bake: Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  5. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and garnish with additional crumbled bacon and green onions. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

  1. Chicken Prep: Thinly slice or pound the chicken breasts to ensure even cooking and tender results.
  2. Cream Cheese Softening: Let the cream cheese sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes to make mixing easier.
  3. Crispy Bacon: Use pre-cooked bacon for convenience, or cook your own until extra crispy for added texture.
  4. Cheese Options: Swap Colby Jack for cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend of your favorite cheeses.
  5. Garnish: Add a sprinkle of fresh parsley or a dash of paprika for extra color and flavor.
