Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Add water to a baking dish (I just use a cookie sheet).
- Place onions in water.
- Wrap each chicken breast with a slice of bacon. Make sure ends of bacon are faced downwards when placed on cookie sheet.
- Once all chicken breasts are wrapped with bacon and placed on cookie sheet on top of onion slices, sprinkle the top of chicken with an even amount of each dry ingredient. Starting with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder then paprika. Bake for 20 minutes.
- By this time, if the water is evaporated add a little more. Flip over and sprinke the tops of chicken breasts with all dry ingredients again. Cook for an additional 20 minutes. By this time, again, water should be gone. Add cheese to the top of each piece of chicken and bake for an additional 5 minutes or until cheese has melted. Enjoy!

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish. Use fresh, free-range chicken, sharp cheddar cheese, and thick-cut bacon.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the chicken will not cook evenly. Cook the chicken in batches if necessary.
- Cook the chicken over medium heat: This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out.
- Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken is done cooking when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the main ingredients in this dish, so make sure to use a good quality cheddar cheese. A sharp cheddar will give you the best flavor.
- Don't skip the bacon: The bacon adds a delicious smoky flavor to this dish. If you don't have bacon, you can substitute pancetta or prosciutto.
- Serve the chicken with your favorite sides: This dish is great served with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.
Conclusion:
Cheddar cheese chicken with bacon is a classic comfort food dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser.
