Cheesy Bacon Chicken w/ Cajun Roasted Potatoes

I know, I know, two posts in one day is kinda ridiculous. However, I made the Apple Chicken last week and never got around to posting it. So here I am with today's dinner too. Its another one I created after eating a few different meals at restaurants. It's a healthier version of Outback's Alice Springs Chicken mixed with Applebee's Fiesta Lime Chicken. Yeah, I know, confusing right?

Cheesy Bacon Chicken w/ Cajun Roasted Potatoes

Ingredients:
3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
4-6 red potatoes
2 tbs butter 
2 tbs. lime juice
2 tbs. Cajun seasoning
1 tbs. garlic powder
1 tbs. dried cilantro (or 1/4 cup fresh, chopped)
1 to 1 1/2 cups reduced cheddar cheese (or Mexican Blend, Taco, whatever really)
1/4 cup bacon bits

Directions:
1. Line a 9x13 and 8x8 baking pan with aluminum foil. Preheat the oven to 425.
2. Rinse potatoes and cut into bit sized pieces. Place in the 9x13 dish.
3. Melt 1 tbs. butter and pour over the potatoes.
4. Season potatoes with 1 tbs. lime juice, 1 tbs. Cajun seasoning, 1/2 tbs. garlic powder and 1/2 tbs. cilantro. Drizzle 1 tbs. lime juice over the potatoes.
5. Put the potatoes in the oven.
6. Place the chicken breasts in the 8x8 baking dish and cover with the remaining 1 tbs. of melted butter.
7. Season with the remaining spices and lime juice.
8. Approximately 10 minutes after the potatoes have been in the oven, add the chicken to the oven. Bake for 35-40 minutes more, until potatoes are soft and chicken is cooked through.
9. Remove the chicken from the oven and sprinkle cheese and bacon bits over the breasts and return to the oven for 3-5 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly.

I usually serve this with canned corn in the winter and corn on the cob in the summer.

Other Options:
Serve sour cream and salsa on top of the chicken.
Substitute the bacon bits for sauteed mushrooms.
Substitute Cajun seasoning for Creole, Jerk, Caribbean, or anything else really.
Increase or omit the lime juice.
Use chicken tenders and put chicken pieces and potato chunks along with vegetables onto skewers.

Yeah, you pretty much have a ton of options that you can do with this basic recipe. Let me know what you create!
