Cowboy BBQ Bacon Cheddar Chicken – Ultimate BBQ Chicken Dinner

Creamy, flavorful chicken baked to perfection with garlic, lemon, zucchini, and a rich buttery sauce. Perfect for a comforting family dinner.

🛒 Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (around 1½ pounds total)
4 garlic cloves, finely minced
2 medium zucchini, cut into thin slices
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, separated
1 cup heavy cream
Juice freshly squeezed from 2 lemons
Salt and black pepper, as needed
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce

👩‍🍳 Method

Begin by heating your oven to 400°F (200°C) so it’s ready for baking.
Pat the chicken breasts dry and season both sides evenly with salt and pepper.
Warm a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of butter and allow it to melt. Stir in the minced garlic and cook briefly until aromatic, being careful not to let it brown.
Place the seasoned chicken into the skillet. Cook for approximately 6 minutes on each side, or until the exterior is golden and the chicken is nearly cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.
Using the same pan, pour in the heavy cream along with the soy sauce and lemon juice. Add the remaining butter and stir until the mixture becomes smooth and slightly thickened.
Add the zucchini slices to the creamy sauce and simmer for about 5 minutes, until they are tender but still slightly firm.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon the sauce generously over the top. Move the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes to finish cooking and allow the flavors to meld together.
