Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking dish with aluminum foil, brush with olive oil.

  2. Season chicken breasts with mesquite seasoning and place in the prepared baking dish.

  3. Mix cheese blend, bacon bits, green onions, mayonnaise, and chipotle-flavored hot sauce together in a small bowl. Spread mixture evenly over chicken.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 16 minutes. Turn off oven, leave chicken inside for 2 minutes. Turn on broiler, broil chicken on low until topping is golden, 2 to 3 minutes.

Recipe Note

This dish is like Alice Springs Chicken on steroids. Mixing everything together gives it a much better, juicier flavor. I like to pair it with steamed veggies.
