Cheesy Bacon Ranch Chicken

Ingredients

4 slices thick-cut bacon

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1¾ lb.)

2 tsp. ranch seasoning

Kosher salt

Freshly ground black pepper

1-1/2 cup Shredded Mozzerella

Chopped Chives, for garnish

Directions

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook bacon, flipping once, until crispy, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate. Drain all but 2 tablespoons of bacon fat.

Season chicken with salt and pepper. Return skillet to medium-high heat, add chicken and cook until golden and just cooked through, about 6 minutes per side.

Reduce heat to medium and sprinkle chicken with ranch seasoning and top with mozzarella. Cover the skillet and cook, until cheese is melted and bubbly, about 5 minutes.

Crumble and sprinkle bacon on top before serving.
