Cracker Barrel Cheesy Bacon Homestyle Chicken Recipe
This Cracker Barrel-style cheesy bacon homestyle chicken is what homecooked meals should be all about!I cook the bacon first until it’s crispy, then use some of the drippings to sear the chicken for extra richness.A mix of Colby and Monterey Jack cheese melts beautifully over the top, giving it that signature Cracker Barrel texture.Letting the chicken rest for five minutes before serving keeps it juicy and helps the cheese settle just right.
