Step-by-Step Instructions for Creamy Keto Crack Chicken
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. In a skillet, cook the thick-cut bacon over medium heat for about 5 to 7 minutes until crispy, then remove and set aside.
  3. Using the same skillet, sear the pounded chicken breasts for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, garlic powder, dill, and chives, mixing until smooth.
  5. Transfer the seared chicken to the baking dish and spread the creamy mixture over each piece.
  6. Sprinkle half of the crispy bacon over the chicken followed by the shredded cheddar cheese.
  7. Bake the dish uncovered for about 15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and melted, and the chicken reaches 165°F.
  8. Garnish with the remaining bacon, parsley, and green scallions before serving.
