Making Cheesy Bacon BBQ Chicken is as easy as following these simple steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
3. Cook the Bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
4. Sear the Chicken: In the same skillet with some bacon drippings, add the chicken breasts. Sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
5. Add BBQ Sauce: Transfer the seared chicken to a baking dish. Pour BBQ sauce evenly over the chicken.
6. Top with Bacon and Cheese: Crumble the cooked bacon on top of the BBQ-covered chicken, then sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese generously over everything.
7. Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
8. Garnish: Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
9. Serve: Slice and serve hot with additional BBQ sauce on the side if desired.

Following these steps will ensure your Cheesy Bacon BBQ Chicken turns out perfectly, ready to be enjoyed by everyone at the table!
