Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and olive oil.
Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy; remove and drain excess grease while leaving some drippings.
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).
Generously spread ranch dressing on each chicken breast, top with crispy bacon pieces and a mix of cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
Bake for 15-20 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
