Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts Ensure chicken is cooked through.
  • 8 slices thick-cut bacon Chopped into bite-sized pieces.
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened Makes the sauce creamy.
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning mix Or 1 tablespoon of homemade ranch seasoning.
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese For sprinkling on top.
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste For seasoning.
  • Fresh chives or green onions, chopped (optional, for garnish) Enhances presentation.

Method

Preparation

  • Chop the bacon into bite-sized pieces.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook the bacon until crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon, leaving the rendered fat in the pan.
  • Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Add the chicken to the bacon fat in the skillet and cook on medium heat for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature 165°F). Remove the chicken and set it aside.

Cooking

  • Lower the heat to medium-low. Add softened cream cheese to the skillet and stir to melt into the bacon fat.
  • Slowly add ranch seasoning and stir well to combine. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of water or unsweetened almond milk to loosen.
  • Return the chicken to the skillet, spoon creamy sauce over the top. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese and cooked bacon pieces evenly over the chicken.
  • Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 3-5 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Remove from heat and garnish with fresh chopped chives or green onions.
