Million Dollar Chicken Bake

 This recipe has a lot of the same ingredients as the cheesy bacon toasts that my family LOVES, so I knew we had to try it. It turned out super yummy, but I did notice that the chicken released a lot of "water" into the bottom of the baking dish, so I might try next time to grill the chicken first, then put them in a baking dish, cover with the cheese spread, and just broil in the oven to melt everything. But you can make it as directed if you want. To see the original recipe, click here:

Million Dollar Chicken Bake

2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts thinly cut or pounded

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

Preheat the oven to 350˚F

In a medium sized bowl, mix cream cheese, mayo, bacon crumbles, green onion and half of the cheddar cheese together until combined.

Place the chicken breast in a baking dish and spread the cheese mixture over the chicken. Top with remaining cheddar cheese.

Bake for 30-40 minutes or until chicken is cooked through (165˚F internal temperature), or pre-cook the chicken on a grill, then place in a baking dish sprayed with non-stick spray, spread your cheese spread on the chicken and broil to melt.
