TOTAL TIME
1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a casserole dish with a nonstick cooking spray.
2
Season both sides of each chicken breast with salt and pepper according to your taste.
COOKING
3
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the seasoned chicken breasts. Sear on each side for about five minutes, or until golden brown.
ASSEMBLY
4
Transfer the seared chicken breasts to the prepared casserole dish.
5
Generously spread BBQ sauce on each chicken breast, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
6
Sprinkle the grated Colby Jack Cheese evenly over the BBQ sauce-coated chicken.
COOKING
7
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until the cheese is beautifully melted and bubbly.
FINISHING
8
Evenly distribute the pre-cooked chopped bacon on top of the melted cheese and return the dish to the oven. Bake for another 5 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the bacon is crispy.
RESTING
9
Remove the casserole dish from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. This helps the juices to redistribute within the chicken, making it more juicy and flavorful.
