Steps:
- Prepare a grill for direct and indirect heat: For gas grills (with 3 or more burners), turn all the burners to medium-high heat; after about 15 minutes, turn off one of the side burners and turn the remaining burners down to medium. For charcoal grills, bank one chimney starter-full of lit and ashed-over charcoal briquettes to one side of the grill. Set up a drip pan on the other side to avoid flare-ups. (Be sure to consult the grill manufacturer's guide for best results.)
- Heat a 10-inch cast-iron skillet on direct heat and add the bacon; cook, stirring often, until crispy, about 5 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon to a paper-towel lined plate; set aside.
- Add the potatoes and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Stir to coat with the bacon fat, then move to indirect heat and cover the grill. Cook, uncovering the grill and stirring every 5 minutes, until the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.
- Sprinkle with the Cheddar and move back to direct heat. Cook, uncovered, until the potato bottoms are golden and the cheese is melted, about 10 minutes, depending on the heat of your grill. Let cool for 10 minutes, then dot with the sour cream and sprinkle with the scallions and reserved bacon.

Tips:
- Use a good quality cheese: A sharp cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese will give you the best flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you overcrowd the skillet, the chicken will not cook evenly.
- Cook the chicken over medium heat: This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out.
- Don't overcook the chicken: The chicken is done cooking when it is no longer pink in the center.
- Serve the chicken immediately: This is when it is at its best.
Conclusion:
This Cheesy BBQ Skillet is a quick and easy meal that is perfect for a busy weeknight. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. The chicken is cooked in a flavorful BBQ sauce and then topped with cheese and bacon. The skillet is then baked until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
