Ingredients
To make this cracked chicken dish, you'll need the following ingredients:
- 3-4 chicken breasts, cut into thick slices
- 1 cup of grated cheddar cheese
- ΒΌ cup of breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons of butter
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon of dried oregano
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 4 strips of bacon, cooked and chopped
Instructions
This cracked chicken dish can be made in about an hour with minimal fuss. To begin, preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. In a shallow bowl, mix together the cheddar cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Dip each chicken slice into the cheese mixture, making sure to coat it as much as possible.
Next, melt the butter and olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken slices to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is lightly browned. Once the chicken is cooked, top it with the bacon and remaining cheese mixture. Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the chicken is cooked through.
Once the chicken is cooked, turn off the oven and let the skillet sit in the oven for a few minutes to allow the cheese to set. Serve the cracked chicken with a side of mashed potatoes, rice, or veggies for a delicious, comforting meal.
