Bacon Ranch Chicken Bake Recipes

BAKED RANCH CHICKEN WITH BACON (CHICKEN BACON RANCH)

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F and spray an 8 x 11-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
• If the breasts are uneven in thickness, pound them to an even 1" thickness using a meat pounder.
• Sprinkle both sides of meat with half the grated Parmesan cheese, salt and freshly ground black pepper. Place the chicken in the prepared baking dish.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together Ranch dressing and sour cream. Pour the mixture over the chicken breasts and sprinkle with remaining Parmesan cheese.
• Bake at 375°F for 20-30 minutes or until a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the breast reads 150°F.
• Set oven to broil and broil the breast an additional 2-4 minutes or until the chicken turns golden. It will burn quickly so watch closely.
• The chicken is cooked through when the thermometer reads 160°F when inserted in the thickest part of the middle breast.
• Remove from the oven and sprinkle with cooked bacon crumbles. Allow the chicken to rest a few minutes before serving.
• Garnish with diced parsley, if desired.
• Enjoy!
