How to Make Bbq Bacon Chicken

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) or prepare your grill for medium heat.
  2. Season boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 oz each) generously with salt and pepper.
  3. Cook chicken breasts in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or on the grill for 10-15 minutes, until almost cooked through (internal temperature should reach 160°F/71°C).
  4. Remove chicken from oven or grill and spread a generous amount of your favorite BBQ sauce over each breast.
  5. Top each chicken breast with 1/4 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or your favorite blend).
  6. Add 2 slices of crispy cooked bacon per breast.
  7. Top with 2 tablespoons of diced tomatoes and 1 tablespoon of chopped chives.
  8. Place the chicken under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
  9. Let rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
