Here’s a simple and tasty recipe for Chicken Bacon Ranch Roll-Ups!
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 8 slices of cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1 cup ranch dressing
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (or butter)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Toothpicks (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish with cooking spray or lightly butter it. - Prepare the Chicken:
Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Gently pound them with a meat mallet or rolling pin to an even thickness (about 1/2 inch thick). This helps them cook evenly. - Season the Chicken:
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. - Prepare the Filling:
In a small bowl, combine the crumbled bacon, ranch dressing, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until everything is well combined. - Assemble the Roll-Ups:
Place a spoonful of the bacon-ranch mixture on each chicken breast. Spread it out evenly across the surface, then carefully roll up the chicken tightly (like a jellyroll). Secure with toothpicks if needed. - Cook the Roll-Ups:
Heat the olive oil (or butter) in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken roll-ups and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. - Bake the Chicken:
Transfer the chicken roll-ups to the prepared baking dish. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). - Serve:
Remove the toothpicks, if used, and serve the chicken roll-ups warm. They pair great with a side salad or some roasted vegetables!
