How to Make Chicken Breast With Chili Cheese

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Place 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 ounces each) in an 8x12 inch Pyrex dish.
  3. Season chicken breasts generously with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices (paprika, garlic powder, onion powder recommended).
  4. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 15 minutes.
  5. While chicken is baking, prepare the cheese sauce: In a bowl, combine 1 cup shredded Gouda cheese, 2 tablespoons finely chopped pickled jalapeños, and 2 tablespoons milk or cream. Stir until smooth and creamy.
  6. Remove the foil from the baking dish. Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the chicken breasts.
  7. Top with 1/4 cup crumbled cooked bacon and 2 tablespoons chopped green onions.
  8. Return to the oven, uncovered, and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. Slice 1 ripe avocado and arrange slices on top of the chicken.
  10. Serve immediately with a dollop of sour cream on the side (optional).
  11. Enjoy with your favorite sides such as rice, beans, a tossed salad, or warm tortillas.
