How to Make Barbecue Jack Chicken
- Butterfly each chicken breast: Using a sharp knife, carefully cut a horizontal slit almost all the way through each chicken breast, creating a pocket.
- Stuff with Cheese: Fill each chicken pocket with 2 ounces of pepper jack cheese slices.
- Secure & Marinate: Secure the chicken breasts closed using metal skewers or toothpicks (soaked in water for 30 minutes if using wooden skewers). Lightly brush both sides with 1/4 cup of barbecue sauce.
- Grill to Perfection: Preheat grill to medium heat. Grill the chicken, covered, for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear. Baste with remaining barbecue sauce during the last few minutes of grilling.
- Rest & Serve: Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
