Cheesy Bacon BBQ Chicken

This delightful chicken is smothered in BBQ sauce, topped with crispy bacon, and loaded with melted cheese. It’s comfort food at its finest! Whether you’re grilling outside or baking in the oven, this recipe is versatile and easy to prepare.

Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup BBQ sauce
8 slices of bacon
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup green onions, sliced
Salt and pepper, to taste
Oil for cooking

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) or heat your grill to medium-high.
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides. If grilling, lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Once cooked, remove the bacon and set it aside on paper towels to drain excess grease.
In the same skillet, add the chicken breasts and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Transfer the seared chicken to a baking dish (if baking) or place on the grill. Brush the tops generously with BBQ sauce.
Crumble the cooked bacon over the BBQ sauce-covered chicken, then sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.
If baking, cover with foil and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. If grilling, close the lid and cook for about 15-20 minutes. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
Once cooked, remove from the oven or grill, and let it rest for a few minutes. Top with sliced green onions before serving.

Serve this Cheesy Bacon BBQ Chicken hot, alongside your favorite sides like coleslaw or corn on the cob for a complete meal that will have everyone coming back for seconds!
