Hasselback chicken breast is a delicious and visually appealing dish where a plump, juicy chicken breast is sliced with evenly spaced cuts along its top, being careful not to cut all the way through. These pockets are then generously stuffed with cheddar cheese, which melts beautifully as it cooks, creating a gooey, indulgent filling.

To elevate the dish even further, the chicken is topped with Yorkshire-cured bacon, which adds a crispy texture that contrasts perfectly with the tender chicken and molten cheese. As the chicken bakes, the bacon crisps up, the cheese bubbles and oozes slightly, and the meat remains succulent and packed with flavor.
