Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 F.

Step 2

Grease the bottom of the casserole dish with olive oil. I used the the oval casserole dish measured 13 inches x 9 inches x 4 inches deep.

Step 3

Add chicken breasts to the casserole dish. Note about chicken: use 4 thin chicken breasts, or use 2 large thick chicken breasts, sliced in half horizontally each to make 4 thin chicken breasts.

Step 4

Sprinkle chicken breasts with salt and pepper.

Step 5

Top with cream cheese. Cream cheese should be cold, right out of the fridge, sliced into 8 thin slices.

Step 6

Top with chopped cooked bacon (drained from fat).

Step 7

Top with shredded Cheddar cheese.

Step 8

Bake, uncovered, for about 20-30 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through. The cooking time will depend on the thickness of your chicken breasts.
