We have these coupons that we bought as part of a fundraiser for something or other that my niece was involved in. They are Domino’s pizza coupons so while I am writing my book, we’ve started getting carryout pizza on Saturday nights. You know, big weekend plans and all that…
Well, the past few times my husband has gone after our little half-price pizza, he has come home with a tiny box of this cheesy pull-apart chicken stuff sprinkled with bacon. Apparently, this has become his weekly treat. I gotta admit, it is pretty dang good. Seeing how he has grown to love it so much, I decided to make my own version. And that is what I am sharing with you today.
As with most homemade things, you get twice as much for half the price, which is always a plus! So without further ado, here is your Cheesy Bacon Pull-apart chicken recipe!
Recipe Ingredients:
- Shredded Mozzarella
- Any type of bacon you like
- Shredded Parmesan
- Garlic Powder
- Chicken nuggets of some kind*
A Note About The Chicken
*You can make your chicken bites from scratch (maybe make this recipe the night before and double it so you have extras in the fridge) or buy them in the store to save money. Any type of chicken nugget or popcorn chicken will do, but I went for Chicken Breast Chunks so we’d have that wonderful bite of actual pieces of non-formed chicken.
Technically, the Domino’s version of this has tomatoes in it somewhere. However, I’ve never tasted or spotted any form of tomatoes in it. I don’t know if my Domino’s leaves this out, if my eyesight and taste buds have joined together and decided to fail me completely, or if the aliens are eating all the tomatoes out of our order before Ricky gets it home, but I’ve never spied even the tiniest tomato particle. So I made this cheesy bacon pull-apart chicken recipe based on what I have tasted.
Arrange your chicken chunks on a baking sheet as close together as you can, but not on top of each other. Bake them in the oven at the temperature and time listed in the package directions.
If you are using leftover chicken that you made the night before (these chicken strips would be excellent for that — don’t fret over them being strips vs. nuggets), just place them on a baking sheet and put them in at 350 for about ten minutes.
Remove from the oven and give them a very generous sprinkling of mozzarella and parmesan. Then, sprinkle garlic powder over all.
Top with turkey bacon.
Return to oven for about 5 minutes, or until cheese is fully melted.
There you have it. This cheesy bacon pull-apart chicken recipe is mouth-wateringly good. Husband approved!
Enjoy!

This is one recipie I am going to treat myself to. Hubby hates garlic, hence treat for me.
I am only a newcomer to your site and love reading about you and your family. Your son sounds like a lovely young man and ambitious. I wish him well in everything he does.
God Bless you and your family.
My baby boy, the light of my life, is now a 21 year old senior in college, instrumental music major. This summer he will be marching with the Troopers Drum & Bugle Corps. If there are any drum corps shows in your neck of the woods Brady needs to see one in person.
My kiddo turned 18 just before Christmas, so I understand what you mean. They grow up so fast. It’s sad, and yet at the same time, you feel so proud of the adults they’ve become. (Now I’m getting misty. My baby’s all grown up.) 🙂
These chicken nuggets look oh so delicious! We never get Dominos, so I had no idea this was even a thing. Must try soon!
Christy, I have followed your articles since you started sharing with all of us, thank you so much. I love your stories and sharing you and your family. Your young man, Brady, has surely grown up overnight, seems like it anyway. What a wonderful family you have. Continue your stories of sharing with all of us and continue sharing your recipes. I seem to get my”fix” for the day when I open your mail. Thank you and Gid Bless you and your family.
Oops should read God Bless you and your family.
It is wonderful when all the hard work of being a parent starts to become apparent. It is not easy and many young people today are choosing not to become parents. It takes time and patience and a willingness to NOT do the easy things but the right thing. It is apparent that you and your husband and indeed all of your close family have done and are doing a very good job raising good strong children. GOOD JOB and thank you we need more good responsible citizens. B.
You never bother me with your family stories. So always feel free to share, and Brady is a wonderful young man, and you should be proud of him.
Christy – I am soooo doing this one tonight!!!! Love you. Love your stories and Love your recipes!!! Thank you so much!
