EASY CHEESY BACON CHICKEN – LOW CARB KETO GLUTEN FREE

Bacon smells like Heaven. I love the smell of it wafting through the house. I’ve made this Cheesy Bacon Chicken twice for dinner company in the last month to rave reviews so I thought I should share the love. With only 5 ingredients and a 5-minute preparation, you will feel the bacon love in no time!

Someone is bound to say, “Something smells good!” whenever there is bacon in the oven. Or maybe four little someones. Bacon is one food that is unanimously accepted by all four of my children which gives this easy chicken dinner a big thumbs up.

When my middle daughter turned four we cooked her an entire pound of bacon. It took her 3 or 4 days to eat it but she was in bacon heaven. It is definitely her favorite meat followed closely by Taylor Ham. I grew up calling Taylor Ham pork roll since I lived in the southern half of New Jersey. After marrying my husband and moving to the northern central half he converted me.

Ingredients

• 5-6 chicken breasts , cut in half width wise (about 2.5-3 lbs.)
• 2 tbsp seasoning rub (I use my smoked paprika rub, but you can use a seasoning salt or bbq rub - basically any rub with salt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika - not an herb rub)
• 1/2 pound bacon , cut strips in half
• 4 oz shredded cheddar
• sugar free barbecue sauce , optional, to serve

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400. Spray a large rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.
2. Rub both sides of chicken breasts with seasoning rub. Top each with a piece of bacon. Bake for 30 min on the top rack until the chicken is 160 degrees and the bacon looks crispy.
