Preheat your oven to 375°F and lightly grease a baking dish.

Place the chicken breasts in the baking dish and drizzle them with olive oil.

In a small bowl, mix the sour cream, ranch seasoning, garlic powder, and black pepper until smooth.

Spread the mixture over each chicken breast so they are coated.

Bake the chicken for about 20 minutes.

Remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon over the chicken.

Return the dish to the oven and bake for another 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the chicken is fully cooked.
