Quick Tips
- 1
Pound the breasts even
Slice thick breasts in half horizontally or pound to about 1/2 inch so they cook through in 20 minutes without drying out.
- 2
Cook the bacon first
Crisp 4 to 6 slices in a skillet, then sear the chicken in a spoonful of that fat for more flavor.
- 3
Sear before you bake
Give the chicken 3 to 4 minutes per side in a hot skillet so it browns, then top with cheese and finish at 375°F.
- 4
Add cheese at the end
Shredded cheddar or Swiss only needs the last 5 to 8 minutes in the oven to melt without going greasy.
