A delightful twist on a classic chicken bake, combining smoky barbecue flavors with creamy cheese and crispy bacon.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the right texture for the chicken.
Lightly grease a baking dish large enough to hold the chicken breasts.
Use a non-stick spray or a small amount of oil to prevent sticking.
Place the chicken breasts in the prepared dish and season them with black pepper and garlic powder.
Ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed for consistent flavor.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until just cooked through.
Check the internal temperature of the chicken to ensure it reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the oven and pour the barbecue sauce over each piece, spreading it evenly.
Use a brush or spoon to coat the chicken thoroughly.
Sprinkle the crispy bacon and shredded cheese over the chicken.
Crumble the bacon for easier distribution.
Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 8 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Keep an eye on the cheese to prevent over-browning.
Remove the dish from the oven and garnish the chicken with chopped green onions and diced tomatoes.
Add the garnish just before serving for a fresh touch.
Serve the chicken hot and enjoy your meal.
