WHAT IS CRACK CHICKEN?

Crack Chicken is a deliciously creamy combination of chicken, bacon, cream cheese, and ranch seasoning. This family-friendly, make-ahead meal is a great weeknight dinner, but also perfect for a weekend crowd. Looking for an easy baked chicken recipe? YOU GOT IT!

HOW TO MAKE BAKED CRACK CHICKEN BREASTS

  • We start with frying our bacon until crispy.
  • Remove cooked bacon from skillet. Keep bacon grease in the skillet and add the chicken breasts to cook just until browned on both sides; about 2 to 3 minutes per side. When done, transfer chicken breasts to a baking dish.
  • Prepare the cream cheese by adding a tablespoon of ranch seasoning to it. I make my own ranch seasoning, but you can also use store-bought. Mix it up well and then spread a couple tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture on top of each chicken breast.
  • Top with cooked bacon and cheese; bake in a 400F preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
  • Remove from oven and serve.

Advice from 43 Year Old Mom Who Lost Over 40 Pounds In Less Than 30 Days

My name is Sharon Munroe. And I’m 43 years young! I’d like to share a personal story that I know will resonate with you… I was always one of the cool girls in school. I was captain of the cheerleading squad and was homecoming queen my senior year. What’s more, I was one of those ‘skinny’ girls you love to hate. I was able to eat anything I wanted and still kept to a size 2. Heck, I didn’t even have to workout to keep my firm and toned body shape. I used to chalk up my slimming figure to genetics. After college, I married my high school sweetheart, Tyler. We backpacked through Europe for a year and then settled in St Louis with full-time jobs. About 3 years into our marriage, I gave birth to our first born child – a wonderful boy named Aiden. And that’s when everything went downhill. I was no longer skinny. I had gained 60 pounds while pregnant with Aiden. And no matter what I did after giving birth, I had not been able to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight. As time went on, the busier

6 Best Keto Salad Recipes That Burn Fat

Keto is the short form of ketogenic, which refers to a low-carb and high-fat diet. It has a myriad of benefits and health advantages if used properly, and many people are continuing to appreciate the food. One of the best-known benefits of the diet is weight loss in addition to others such as prevention against diabetes, epilepsy, cancer and several other diseases. The ketogenic diet bares some similarity to the Atkins and low-carb diets since, in all of them, there is little to no carbohydrate intake. In such diets, the consumption of carbohydrates is switched to fats which causes your body to go into a metabolic state known as ketosis. At this metabolic stage, you burn fats easily for energy, and the body also turns fats into ketones, useful for the supply of energy within the brain. 1. Tuna Salad This salad is easy and fast to make. It’s my go-to keto salad when I’m in a hurry. If you have them available, add lime and red onion to the salad to improve the taste.
