Tips for the Best Cheesy Bacon Chicken:
✔ Room temp cream cheese spreads easier—leave it out for 15 minutes before using.
✔ Use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking—juicy chicken is key!
✔ Crispier bacon? Broil for 2–3 minutes at the end.
✔ Low-carb meal? Serve with cauliflower mash or a side salad.
