This is probably my bacon-loving son’s new favorite meal. He’s already asked for it twice this week. I can’t say I blame him - this savory meal packs a lot of flavor!

OMG. First off let me say that i am always on the internet looking up not only star ratings for food, but also the reviews people give the food so that i can make my decision on whether or not i am going to make something for my family. I was looking for something that had cheese and was also favored by kids, as i have 3 in my household right now ages 3 years and two 7 years old twins and they always have one or many who has a problem with the meal. Although this is not the first recipe I have tried online, it is certainly thee first i felt I had to comment on. This was amazing, and they ate it in under 10 minutes. It was just as easy to prepare as you said, and my 7 year old son helped me make it. The only thing that i did differently was some of the seasonings i put on the chicken. I added paprika, onion powder, adobo,and sazon'. This was only because of my families own tastes but, it does add a little pop to the flavor of the chicken, but is not needed. Thank you.

I was skeptical, but this is good.

I wasn’t certain about the ranch, so I did two with, two without (I used a jarred, no preservatives ranch from the refrigerated section of produce). I also put fresh jalapeño slices between the bacon and chicken. Overall, excellent, but better with the ranch. Made extra, as it’s a great low carb lunch to reheat the next day.

This recipe looks amazing but my family doesn't like ranch. Can you skip the ranch or do you have any suggestions for substitutions?

I would give this recipe 10 stars, if I could. This has become my favorite way to cook chicken breasts!!! Very easy to make, but taste elegant. When I don't have enough time, I skip that searing part, still come out juicy and very very tasty!!! If I have some leftovers (almost never happens)) I use them on sandwiches. Thanks a lot for sharing such a great recipe!!!
