About the Recipe
Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1⁄2 teaspoon salt
1⁄2 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup barbecue sauce
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1⁄2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 large tomato, diced
1⁄4 cup sliced green onions
Preparation
Step 1
Place the chicken breasts between two layers of plastic wrap and pound to an even thickness. Pat dry, then season both sides with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Step 2
Warm the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes. Flip the chicken and brush the tops with barbecue sauce. Cook the second side for 4-5 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Step 3
After flipping the chicken the first time, preheat the broiler to medium-high.
Step 4
Flip the cooked chicken one more time and brush generously with more barbecue sauce. Divide the cheese between each chicken breast.
Step 5
Transfer the skillet to the oven and broil for 2-3 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Remove the skillet from the oven and let rest for a few minutes.
Step 6
Serve hot with the crumbled bacon, diced tomatoes, and green onions on top. Enjoy!
