Time 30m

Yield 1 meal, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

4 bacon, strips
4 (4 ounce) boneless skinless, chicken breast halves
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup barbecue sauce
3 green onions, chopped
1 medium tomatoes, chopped
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Steps:

Cut bacon strips in half widthwise.
In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until cooked, but not crisp.
Remove to paper towels to drain, and keep warm.
Drain drippings from skillet, and cook chicken in butter over medium heat for 5-6 minutes on each side or until a meat thermometer reads 170 degrees.
Top each chicken breast with barbecue sauce , green onions, tomato, and 2 reserved bacon pieces.
Sprinkle with cheese.
Cover and cook for 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.

Tips:

To achieve the best flavor, use bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts or thighs.
Make sure the chicken is dry before searing it. This will help the skin crisp up and prevent the chicken from steaming.
Sear the chicken over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the skin is golden brown and crispy.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook the chicken for an additional 10-12 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through.
To make the barbecue sauce, combine ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, and salt and pepper to taste in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 15 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
Brush the chicken with the barbecue sauce and cook for an additional 5 minutes per side, or until the sauce is caramelized and the chicken is heated through.
Serve the chicken immediately with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, green beans, or coleslaw.
