Ingredients
3 large boneless skinless chicken breasts (sliced in half lengthwise)
6 slices thick-cut bacon
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
⅓ cup chopped green onions
Salt and pepper, to taste
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prep Oven & Chicken
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice each chicken breast in half lengthwise to create thinner pieces. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
Step 2: Partially Cook the Bacon
While the chicken is baking, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until the fat begins to render but the bacon is still pliable (not crispy). Set aside.
Step 3: Bake the Chicken
Place the seasoned chicken breasts in a baking dish and bake for 25 minutes.
Step 4: Add Bacon & Bake Again
Remove the chicken from the oven. Cut each strip of bacon in half and place on top of each chicken piece. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
Step 5: Add Cheese & Finish Baking
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese generously over each chicken breast. Bake for another 5 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
Step 6: Garnish & Serve
Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh chopped green onions, and serve hot.
Serving Suggestions
Alice Springs Chicken pairs beautifully with:
Mashed potatoes or baked potatoes
Steamed broccoli or roasted vegetables
A side salad for freshness
Tips for Success
Thinner chicken cooks faster: Slicing the chicken breasts ensures they bake evenly.
Use thick-cut bacon: It adds smoky richness and holds up well in the oven.
Cheese lovers: Mix cheddar with Monterey Jack for extra gooeyness.
Meal prep: You can prep the chicken and bacon ahead of time, then assemble and bake when ready.
