Ingredients

multiply by

1 tablespoon olive oil
4 chicken breasts ((use 4 thin chicken breasts, or use 2 large chicken breasts, sliced in half, horizontally))
salt and pepper
6 oz cream cheese (, cold, refrigerated, and sliced into 8 slices)
8 strips bacon (, cooked, chopped)
1 cup Cheddar cheese (, shredded)

1
Preheat the oven to 400 F.
2
Grease the bottom of the casserole dish with olive oil. I used the the oval casserole dish measured 13 inches x 9 inches x 4 inches deep.
3
Add chicken breasts to the casserole dish. Note about chicken: use 4 thin chicken breasts, or use 2 large thick chicken breasts, sliced in half horizontally each to make 4 thin chicken breasts.
4
Sprinkle chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
5
Top with cream cheese. Cream cheese should be cold, right out of the fridge, sliced into 8 thin slices.
6
Top with chopped cooked bacon (drained from fat).
7
Top with shredded Cheddar cheese.
8
Bake, uncovered, for about 20-30 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through. The cooking time will depend on the thickness of your chicken breasts.
