Cheesy Bacon Orchard Chicken Food

EASY CHICKEN BACON RECIPE WITH CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350. In a 2 quart dish, place thawed chicken breasts. Top with cheese and bacon. Sprinkle with garlic salt. Bake, uncovered, for approximately 40 minutes, depending on the thickness of your chicken breasts. The cook time will vary a large amount according to how thick the chicken breasts are and whether or not they are frozen. If you cook them from frozen, I would recommend allowing 1.5 - 2 hours of bake time. I would recommend using a Meat Thermometer to make sure the chicken is an internal temperature of 160-165.
