1 cup shredded iceberg or romaine lettuce
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup ranch dressing
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper and place them in a baking dish.
Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown; ensure internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Once chicken is cooked, layer crispy bacon, sliced tomatoes, and shredded lettuce on each breast.
Drizzle with the creamy sauce and return to the oven for a couple of minutes to warm through before serving.
