I’ve been making this recipe for a few years now and it never disappoints. Nice Bbq flavor with bacon and cheese. We like to pair with mashed potatoes and usually corn, but sometimes green beans. The below picture has extra cheese!

What you will need:

• 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 8 thick slices bacon
• 1 cup bbq sauce
• 3/4 cup cheese
• classic bbq seasoning

What to do:

Step One:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Lightly spray a 9×13 casserole dish with cooking spray.

Step Two:

Trim your chicken so there is no fat on it.

Cut chicken in half-length wise

Step Three:

Season chicken with classic bbq seasoning, then

Wrap each half chicken with 1 slice of bacon

Step Four:

Bake in the oven for 30-40 minutes depending on how thick your chicken breasts are. 

Step Five:

Carefully drain any liquid from the pan (I use a turkey baster)

Spread bbq sauce on each chicken breast, use more if not covered.

Step Six:

Bake for another 10-15 minutes in the oven

About 5 minutes before the chicken is done cooking, sprinkle the cheese on top. Return to oven to melt the cheese. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
