Ingredients
4 slices bacon, thick-cut
4 chicken breasts, (about 1¾ lbs) boneless, skinless
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 tsp ranch seasoning
1½ cups mozzarella, shredded
chives, chopped, for garnish
Preparation
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook bacon, flipping once, for about 8 minutes until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Drain all but 2 tablespoons of bacon fat from the skillet.
Season chicken with salt and pepper. Return skillet to medium-high heat, add chicken, and cook for about 6 minutes per side until golden and just cooked through.
Reduce heat to medium and sprinkle chicken with ranch seasoning and top with mozzarella. Cover the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes per side until cheese is melted and bubbly.
Crumble and sprinkle bacon and chives on top before serving. Enjoy!
