Instructions

1 Fry the bacon in a medium skillet until done. You can do this beforehand and
freeze it until your ready or right before making the chicken.
2 Use the same pan that you cooked the bacon in to cook the chicken or get a new
pan. If you're not using the bacon grease pan, put a little olive oil all over
the chicken. Heat skillet to medium-high heat.
3 If your chicken is the thick breasts, pound them down to about 1/2 inch thick
with a meat tenderizer/hammer. I like to add a sprinkle of salt, pepper, garlic
powder, and cajun seasoning to my chicken before cooking.
4 Cook the chicken breasts until cooked through (usually 4 minutes per side).
Immediately place on a cookie sheet.
5 Smother each piece of chicken in the bbq sauce. Lay 2-3 slices of bacon over
top. Cover the top with your desired cheese.
6 Place in the oven under the broiler until cheese is melted. Make sure to watch
carefully as it cooks. You don't want to overcook the chicken or burn the
toppings.
7 Serve immediately.
