For a lower-fat option, skip the bacon and use a reduced-fat cheese. Feel free to experiment with different cheeses, such as mozzarella or fontina. If you don't have a broiler pan, use a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Ensure the chicken is cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
