This hearty casserole offers a perfect combination of savory and cheesy flavors, ideal for a comforting dinner.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts (thinly cut or pounded)

Cheese Mixture

  • 6 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup crispy bacon (crumbled, about 8 slices)
  • 1/2 cup green onions (chopped, about 4 onions)
  • 1.5 cups Colby Jack cheese (shredded)

Toppings

  • Additional crumbled bacon
  • Additional chopped green onions

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350˚F to prepare for baking the chicken dish evenly.
  2. Prepare Cheese Mixture: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, crumbled bacon, chopped green onions, and half of the shredded Colby Jack cheese. Mix until all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
  3. Assemble Chicken Bake: Place the thinly cut or pounded chicken breasts into a baking dish in a single layer. Spread the prepared cheese mixture evenly over the top of the chicken breasts. Then, top with the remaining shredded Colby Jack cheese for a cheesy crust.
  4. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165˚F, ensuring it is fully cooked and safe to eat.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Remove the bake from the oven and garnish with additional crumbled bacon and chopped green onions for added texture and flavor. Serve hot immediately for the best taste.

Notes

  • You can substitute Colby Jack cheese with Cheddar or Monterey Jack if desired.
  • For a lower-fat version, use light mayonnaise and reduced-fat cream cheese.
  • Make sure chicken pieces have a uniform thickness for even cooking.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
