Cheesy Bacon Pull-Apart Chicken Recipe

To get the delicious deets for the Cheesy Bacon Pull-Apart Chicken recipe, taste the bursting flavors, and make a perfectly moist chicken, keep on scrollin’.

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!
