Prepare the Chicken:
- Season the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through and golden brown on the outside. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Assemble the Chicken Overload:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Top the Chicken: Place the cooked chicken breasts in a baking dish. First, sprinkle the mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses evenly over the chicken. Then layer the bacon, bell peppers, caramelized onions, sautéed mushrooms, black olives, and cherry tomatoes on top.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Finish and Serve:
- Add Final Toppings: Once removed from the oven, immediately drizzle the barbecue sauce and ranch dressing over the top. Garnish with chopped green onions.
- Serve: Serve your Chicken Overload hot, alongside a fresh green salad or your favorite side dishes for a complete meal.
