Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

5 chicken breasts
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon pepper
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
20 slices bacon
1 cup BBQ sauce, divided
10 slices cheddar cheese
2 green bell peppers, sliced
½ red onion, sliced
2 red bell peppers, sliced

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
Cut each chicken breast in half crosswise, then cut the larger half again horizontally, creating 3 cutlets. Transfer to a large bowl.
In a small bowl, combine the salt, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, chili powder, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Stir to combine.
Pour the spice mix over the chicken cutlets and toss to coat completely in the seasoning. Set the chicken aside.
Arrange the bacon slices in a 9x5-inch (23x13-cm) loaf pan, making sure the bottom and sides are fully covered, and that the strips hang over the sides.
Layer in 4 seasoned chicken cutlets, 2 tablespoons of barbecue sauce, 5 slices of cheddar cheese, 4 more chicken cutlets, another 2 tablespoons of barbecue sauce, the green pepper, onion, 2 tablespoons of barbecue sauce, the red pepper, 5 remaining cheese slices, and the remaining chicken. Then, wrap the overhanging strips of bacon over the top of the loaf.
Cover the loaf with foil and bake for 1 hour. Then remove the foil, drain any excess fat, and bake for another 30 minutes uncovered, making sure the chicken is cooked through and the bacon is brown and crispy.
Remove the bacon loaf from the oven and turn on the broiler. Invert the loaf onto a wire rack set atop a baking sheet and baste the loaf with the remaining barbecue sauce.
Broil for 5 minutes, until the glaze dries slightly.
Slice and serve with rolls or other barbecue party food.
Enjoy!

CHICKEN BACON RANCH SALAD

Chicken Bacon Ranch Salad image

I always seem to have leftover cooked chicken. This simple, tasty salad is a great use of your leftover chicken, either white meat, dark meat, or a combination! Romaine lettuce, cooked chicken, avocado, and cherry tomatoes combine with ranch dressing, and everything is topped off with crunchy bacon. Use purchased ranch salad dressing, or stir up one of the buttermilk dressing recipes on the site. Enjoy for a hearty lunch with some crackers, or for dinner, with a crusty bread. This recipe is proportioned for one person, but it's easy to double or triple for your needs.

BBQ-BACON MEATLOAF

BBQ-Bacon Meatloaf image

I have to admit that a regular meatloaf doesn't really appeal to me that much. So when someone in my family requested meatloaf, I decided to try something different! I made it a few times before I actually wrote the recipe down. This is a hit with my family every time and my sister requests it frequently. It's moist, flavorful, juicy, and really good as a leftover if you slice it and fry it. It's hard to go wrong with bacon and cheese! Hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

Time 1h40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

4 slices uncooked bacon
cooking spray
2 pounds ground beef
1 cup milk
1 cup uncooked quick oats
1 cup shredded Colby-Jack cheese
1 cup finely chopped onion
1 cup barbecue sauce, divided
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons garlic pepper seasoning
1 teaspoon sea salt

Steps:

Place bacon slices in the freezer until firm, 10 to 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 2-quart baking dish with cooking spray.
Combine ground beef, milk, oats, Colby-Jack cheese, onion, 1/2 cup barbecue sauce, eggs, garlic pepper, and salt in a mixing bowl.
Remove bacon from the freezer and dice; add to the beef mixture. Mix all ingredients together thoroughly; I like to use a potato masher. Transfer into the prepared baking dish and form the top into a loaf. Evenly cover the top of the loaf with remaining barbecue sauce.
Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven for 1 hour 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (71 degrees C).

Tips:

For the best flavor, use a combination of ground chicken thighs and breasts.
Don't overmix the chicken mixture, or the meatloaf will be tough.
Be sure to press the chicken mixture into the loaf pan firmly, so that it holds together well.
Bake the chicken loaf in a preheated oven for even cooking.
Let the chicken loaf cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Conclusion:

Bacon BBQ chicken loaf is an easy and delicious meal that can be served for dinner or lunch. It's a great way to use up leftover chicken, and it's also a budget-friendly option. With its smoky bacon flavor and tangy BBQ sauce, this chicken loaf is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
