Chicken breasts with cheese and bacon
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Serve the chicken breasts immediately after baking. These chicken breasts can easily be prepared as a main meat dish for a festive table. The bacon helps retain the juiciness of the chicken, which is very important during cooking. You can skip pre-frying the chicken with bacon in a pan and place it directly into the oven. Serve hot.
