Step-by-Step Instructions
Pat and Season the Chicken:
Pat each chicken breast dry using paper towels. Season both sides with salt black pepper garlic powder and onion powder. Make sure each piece gets an even coating so every bite is flavorful.
Sear the Chicken:
Heat olive oil in your skillet over medium-high until it shimmers. Add the seasoned chicken and leave it undisturbed for about five to six minutes per side. You are looking for a golden crust and no sticking so only flip when the chicken naturally releases from the pan.
Prepare the Sauce:
Once your chicken is cooked through remove it to a plate and cover loosely. In the same skillet add ranch dressing and heavy cream. Stir constantly and scrape up any bits stuck to the pan. Cook for about two minutes until the sauce thickens and smells rich and creamy.
Assemble and Add Cheese:
Nestle the chicken back in the skillet. Spoon ranch sauce over each piece then sprinkle with all the bacon and cover with cheddar cheese. Cover the skillet and let stand for about three to four minutes until the cheese is melted and everything is steaming.
Finish and Serve:
Optional Use your broiler for a minute to brown the top if you like extra golden cheese but keep a close eye. Serve straight from the skillet at the table right away for maximum wow factor.
