Chicken Bacon Ranch Pasta Bake

INGREDIENTS:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

8 slices bacon

1/2 cup ranch dressing

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

2 green onions, thinly sliced

Salt and pepper, to taste

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper to taste.

Wrap each chicken breast with 2 slices of bacon, securing the ends with toothpicks if necessary.

Place the bacon-wrapped chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet.

Brush each chicken breast generously with ranch dressing, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top of each chicken breast, covering them completely.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the bacon is crispy.

Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

Garnish with thinly sliced green onions before serving.
