Ingredients

  • 4 slices center cut bacon (I use Oscar Mayer)
  • 4 (5.5 oz each) thin chicken breast cutlets 22 oz total (if you buy large breasts, trim them to 5.5 ounces each and pound them thin)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 oz 1/3 less fat cream cheese softened
  • ¼ cup light mayonnaise
  • 2 teaspoons ranch seasoning (I use Hidden Valley Original Ranch Salad Dressing and Seasoning Mix)
  • 1 oz shredded 2% milk sharp cheddar cheese

Instructions

  • Cook the bacon slices to crisp according to package instructions and then drain on a stack of paper towels. Chop or crumble into small pieces.
  • Pre-heat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly mist it with cooking spray.
  • Sprinkle the salt and pepper evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts and place them on the lined baking sheet, not touching each other.
  • In a mixing bowl, stir together the cream cheese, mayonnaise, and ranch seasoning until combined. Add most of the chopped bacon along with the shredded cheese and stir together until mixed.
  • Evenly divide the cheese mixture amongst the chicken breasts and spread it out over the top of each breast. Sprinkle the remaining bacon pieces over the top. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until the chicken breasts are cooked through. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before cutting/serving.
