Prep Time:15 mins

Total Time:45 mins

Servings: 4

Ingredients

4 pieces Chicken breasts
1 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Black pepper
1 teaspoon Paprika
1 teaspoon Garlic powder
2 tablespoons Olive oil
8 slices Bacon
1 cup BBQ sauce
1 cup Cheddar cheese
1 cup Mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Season the chicken breasts evenly with salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.

Step 3

In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove from heat.

Step 4

While the chicken is searing, prepare the bacon. In a separate skillet, cook the bacon slices over medium heat until crispy. Drain on paper towels and set aside.

Step 5

Spread a generous layer of BBQ sauce evenly over each chicken breast in the skillet.

Step 6

Sprinkle cheddar cheese and mozzarella cheese evenly over the BBQ sauce.

Step 7

Crumble the cooked bacon slices and sprinkle them on top of the cheese-covered chicken.

Step 8

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C) and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes.

Step 10

Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve hot with your favorite sides.
