Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside.
In the same skillet, combine the tomato passata, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, paprika, dried thyme, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir well and let simmer for 5 minutes to thicken slightly.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, coating them with the sauce.
Lay a slice of bacon over each chicken breast.
Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes.
Remove the skillet from the oven and sprinkle the cheddar cheese evenly over the chicken breasts.
Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the Sugar-Free Hunter's Chicken with your favorite low-carb sides or a fresh salad.
