Time 57m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
salt and ground black pepper to taste
4 slices hickory-smoked thick-cut bacon
1 ½ cups shredded mild Cheddar cheese
2 limes, halved

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Place chicken breasts in a baking dish. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Bake chicken in the preheated oven until it is just slightly pink in the center, about 25 minutes. Remove from the oven.
  • Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium heat, turning occasionally, until most of the fat has rendered, about 5 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels. Wrap around chicken breasts.
  • Return chicken to the oven and continue baking until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads 165 degrees F (74 degrees C) and bacon is crispy, about 15 minutes more. Sprinkle Cheddar cheese on top; bake until melted, 2 to 5 minutes. Serve with limes.
