Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large chicken breasts
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
- 6 slices bacon
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese
- 3 stalks green onions
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on paper towels to drain. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.
In the same skillet, briefly sear the chicken breasts on both sides until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. This step is to add color, not to cook through.
Transfer the chicken breasts to a 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, ranch seasoning mix, heavy cream, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the chicken breasts in the baking dish.
Sprinkle the crumbled bacon over the cream cheese mixture.
Add the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Garnish with chopped green onions and serve warm. Enjoy your Keto Crack Chicken!
