Cheddar Bacon Chicken

Baked Chicken Topped with Cheddar Bacon and Sauces

This month has had the most snow on record where we live. Last count it was about four feet and we are supposed to get another foot today through tomorrow morning. The huge snow mountains from the plows may not completely thaw until April. If the snowstorms don’t stop coming, I’m not sure where they will put all the snow from the roads.

Cheddar Bacon Chicken Before Baking

Today is my husband’s 37th birthday. I left work four hours early both because of the snow and also because I wanted to have some time to get a cake and make dinner. My husband was planning to go out for his birthday dinner, but with the meteorologists predicting 8-12 inches of snow, he thought it would be safer to stay home. Luckily, I had taken out some chicken breasts from the freezer and had them thawing in the fridge. I also had some cooked bacon left over.

I found a recipe in my file for baked chicken with bacon and cheddar. The original recipe called for more teriyaki and ranch dressing, but I cut the amounts back to save carbs. The carb amount in teriyaki sauces vary greatly, but I always buy a brand that lists 2g per tablespoon. Most are loaded with sugar so be careful which one you choose.
