Yep, this is one of those recipes.
We are talking 5 minute prep, about 25 minutes in the oven, and onto the table before you’ve even managed to round up the troops. And it has swiss CHEESE. And BACON.
Talk about buzz words.
P.S. if you are a dressing/sauce/dip person… you need to serve this with some creamy ranch dressing.

My kind of food!
You had me at bacon and melty swiss cheese! This looks so delicious!
How long did you cook your bacon before putting it on the chicken and baking the chicken in the oven for the full time? I cooked bacon for the first time recently an it cooked so quickly that it was a little too overcooked and I don’t want to repeat it if I could. Thanks! Looks delicious and can’t wait to try this one!
Hi V, it depends on if you get “fully cooked” bacon, or raw. If it’s fully cooked, you can cook it in the microwave for 30 seconds or so. If it’s raw, probably 1-2 minutes. It shouldn’t be crispy yet!
