Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400° F. Trim the chicken breasts or cut in half lengthwise if they are thick.
- Sprinkle chicken with garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper.
- Spray the baking dish with olive oil. Lay out the prepared fillets so that the portions barely touch each other. This arrangement will ensure even baking. Spread the ranch sauce on each portion and spread it in a thick layer.
- Cut the mozzarella into slices and place on chicken pieces. Cover the dish and bake in the oven for 18-20 minutes.
- Remove chicken from the oven. Place the bacon on the melted cheese and continue cooking uncovered for 10 minutes.

- Use a meat tenderizer on the chicken before cooking.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
