Baked Chicken with Cheese and Bacon
We all know the saying, bacon makes everything better! This bacon crusted chicken is cooked to perfection and is full of texture and flavor.
The salty bacon cuts through the creamy cheese and makes this a winning chicken dinner.
How do you know when the chicken is cooked?
The chicken will take around 25 minutes to cook through depending on the thickness of the breast. If you have an instant read thermometer, the internal temperature should register at 165°F.
If you don’t have a thermometer you can check the chicken by cutting in in half and making sure there is no pink.
The Best meat thermometer!
I love using this meat thermometer for making sure the meat is at 165 degrees! Easy for beginners & totally worth the $10 cost!
How do you reheat this dish?
- I prefer to serve Bacon Crusted Chicken as soon as it is cooked, but if you have leftovers they can be stored up to 3 days in an airtight container in the fridge.
- Reheat the whole dish in the oven and cover it with foil so that the top doesn’t burn. Cook it at 325°F for around 25 minutes until heated through.
Tips!
- Be sure to grease your dish before adding the ingredients so that nothing sticks to the pan.
- Add some extra veggies to this meal like creamed spinach or sauteed leeks.
- Use an instant read thermometer to check that the chicken is cooked through. It should register at 165°F.

Ingredients
- 24 ounces baby red potatoes washed and halved
- 1 ounce Dry Ranch Seasoning homemade or store bought
- 2 ounces olive oil
- 11 ounces canned corn drained and rinsed.
- 4 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
- salt and pepper to taste
- 8 ounces low fat cream cheese
- 3/4 cup bacon crumbles homemade or store bought
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400F.
Spray a large casserole dish with nonstick spray.
Toss the halved potatoes in olive oil. Sprinkle with the dry ranch seasoning and toss to combine.
Place potatoes in a single layer, cut side up, in the casserole dish.
Bake for 30 minutes.
Remove from the oven but leave oven on.
Stir corn into potatoes and sprinkle all with a pinch salt and pepper. Toss to combine. Push to one side of the casserole dish. It’s okay for it not to be in one layer anymore, it can be stacked up.
Pat the chicken breasts dry and sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper to taste.
Place the 4 chicken breasts in the other side of the casserole dish as shown (it will take up a bit more than half. Its okay if they touch but try not to overlap).
Carefully spread 1/4 of the cream cheese onto each chicken breast.
Top with the bacon crumbles and then the shredded cheese.
Bake for an additional 25 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165F.
Serve and enjoy!
