Description
Juicy seasoned chicken breasts topped with sautéed peppers, onions, mushrooms, bacon, melted cheddar cheese, and ranch dressing for an indulgent restaurant-style dinner at home.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large fresh boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 24 oz)
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup chopped mushrooms
- 1 cup diced bell pepper
- 1 cup minced onion
- 1/2 cup bacon crumbles
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing
Instructions
- Heat oven to 375° F.
- Pound the chicken to an even thickness, about 1 inch.
- In a small bowl stir together the salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder. Season the chicken breasts on both sides with the mixture.
- Heat the olive oil over medium high heat in a large pan. Add the chicken into the pan and sear on each side for 5 minutes (chicken won’t be cooked through). Move the chicken to a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Add the mushrooms, peppers and onions into the pan and sauté for 5 minutes. Stir in the bacon to heat through. Scoop the mixture over the chicken breasts.
- Sprinkle the cheese on top of the chicken. Drizzle with ranch.
- Cover the pan with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for 5 more minutes.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
The chicken breasts I used were quite large, enough that a serving was half of a breast.
