Looking for a deliciously cheesy meal that is not only healthy but easy on the budget? This one is for you! I love how simple this recipe is and how it pairs perfectly with any vegetable (although my preference is some green beans 😉). You can also throw this together in advance, put it in the fridge and then bake in the oven the next day for a quick dinner when you get home at the end of a busy day. There is no arguing that chicken, cheese and bacon makes an amazing, comforting low carb dinner!
