Cheddar Bar-B-Q Chicken Breasts Recipe

Preparation Time: 5 minutes
Cooking Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes
Servings: 4 breasts

Description:

A wonderful and quick main course, these Cheddar Bar-B-Q Chicken Breasts are perfect for a cozy dinner with friends and family. Simply add a side of veggies and your favorite side dish for a complete and satisfying meal.

Ingredients:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 8 slices of bacon (precooked for a quicker option)
  • 1 cup of green onions, sliced
  • 1/4 cup of barbecue sauce
  • 1 cup of cheddar cheese, shredded
  • Optional: chopped tomatoes for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC) to ensure itโ€™s ready when the chicken is prepared.

  2. Prepare the Chicken: Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts on a baking dish or tray.

  3. Add Barbecue Sauce: Cover each chicken breast generously with barbecue sauce. Use your favorite barbecue sauce for the best flavor.

  4. Bake the Chicken: Place the baking dish with the chicken breasts into the preheated oven. Bake for approximately 15-30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked. Keep an eye on the chicken, as cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts.

  5. Add Bacon Strips: Once the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the oven. Place precooked bacon strips on top of each chicken breast, covering them evenly.

  6. Top with Cheddar Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the bacon-covered chicken breasts. Ensure each breast is generously covered with cheese.

  7. Return to Oven: Place the baking dish back into the oven and bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly, usually for about 5-7 minutes.

  8. Garnish and Serve: Once the cheese is melted and bubbly, remove the chicken breasts from the oven. Garnish with sliced green onions and chopped tomatoes if desired.

  9. Serve Hot: Transfer the Cheddar Bar-B-Q Chicken Breasts to serving plates. Serve immediately alongside your favorite sides, such as steamed vegetables or a garden salad, for a delicious and satisfying meal.
