What are the three best things in the food world? Bacon, BBQ, and cheese. (This is just fact and science, friends.) We've combined the two of the best things and placed them on a succulent chicken breast as it beautifully cooks, and saved the drizzle of the BBQ for the delicious end. The best things in life come in threes. (We've also got ranch seasoning on the vegetables! Science says you must love this meal.)

Customize It Instructions
-
If using pork chops, follow same instructions as chicken in Steps 2 and 4, cooking until pork reaches minimum internal temperature, 2-3 minutes per side. Rest, 3 minutes. Pork chop thickness can vary; if you receive a thinner chop, we recommend checking for doneness sooner.

Halve potatoes. Cut halves into 1/4" half-moons.
Place potatoes on prepared baking sheet and toss with 1 Tbsp. olive oil and seasoning blend. Massage oil and seasoning into potatoes.Spread into a single layer and roast in hot oven, 15 minutes.Remove from oven. Potatoes will finish cooking in a later step.While potatoes roast, prepare chicken. -
2 Prepare Chicken and Crisp Bacon

Cover chicken with plastic wrap. You may also use a gallon bag for easier clean-up. Pound with a heavy object to an even 1/4" thickness.Remove plastic wrap. Season both sides with a pinch of salt and pepper.Line a plate with a paper towel. Spread bacon on towel-lined plate and microwave until crisp, 1-2 minutes. -
3 Finish the Potatoes
Carefully, flip potatoes. Baking sheet will be hot! Use a utensil.
Add peas and spread into a single layer. Roast again until peas are heated through and potatoes are golden brown and tender, 10-15 minutes.While potatoes and peas roast, cook chicken. -
