Notes
Storage: Once cooled, store leftover Cowboy BBQ Bacon Cheddar Chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can freeze the chicken for up to 2 months. Make sure to separate layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Reheating: To reheat, place the chicken in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes or until heated through. Alternatively, you can microwave it for 1-2 minutes, but the oven method will help maintain the chicken’s texture and flavor.
Serving: Serve the Cowboy BBQ Bacon Cheddar Chicken hot, garnished with chopped green onions for added freshness. Pair it with coleslaw, cornbread, or a simple green salad for a complete meal.
Chef’s Tip: For extra flavor, marinate the chicken breasts in BBQ sauce for a few hours or overnight before baking. This will enhance the taste and tenderness of the chicken, making it even more delicious.
