This little trick is one that I love to share, and it’s so simple. Do you ever use a non-stick cooking spray?

Once you have sealed the chicken with cooking spray, place in an oven safe baking dish.
Spread the cream cheese over the chicken, and don’t be stingy! This really helps pack on the flavor. Slice the bell pepper and sweet peppers and top the chicken.
Bake on 375 for 35-40 minutes, or until chicken is fully cooked.
Top with shredded cheese and bacon and serve.
