Ingredients

Scale

  • 6 slices thick-cut bacon
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  3. Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy; remove and drain excess grease while leaving some drippings.
  4. Sear seasoned chicken in the same skillet until golden brown on both sides (about 5 minutes per side), ensuring they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  5. Generously spread ranch dressing on each chicken breast, top with crispy bacon pieces and a mix of cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
