How to Make Barbecued Chicken Bundles
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Make a slit in each chicken breast half to create a pocket, being careful not to cut all the way through.
- Place 1 slice of cheddar cheese (about 1 ounce) into each chicken pocket.
- Roll each chicken breast tightly into a bundle.
- Wrap each chicken bundle crisscross with 2 slices of bacon (approximately 2 ounces).
- Secure the bacon with toothpicks.
- Place the bundles on a broiler pan or baking sheet, bottom-side up.
- Bake for 30 minutes.
- Flip the bundles.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of your favorite barbecue sauce with 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder and 1/4 teaspoon onion powder.
- Brush the bundles generously with the BBQ sauce mixture.
- Continue baking for 20-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Remove from oven, let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Remove toothpicks before serving.
