Bacon-Wrapped, Cheese-Stuffed BBQ Chicken. I mean, you can do no wrong here.
Here’s how it goes, listen up:
→ Take some boneless skinless chicken breasts; they need to be thawed, not frozen. You’re going to make a “pocket” in the center of each one and stuff it with cheese, so take a sharp knife and stick it into the end of one end of the chicken piece and stab it right into the center. Glide your knife one direction, and then the other direction so you’ve got an opening at one end of the chicken piece and a nice pocket in the center. Cut a chunk of white cheese (smoked cheddar, provolone, mozzarella) to fit inside the pockets and stuff it in there.
→ Generously slather each piece of chicken with your favorite bottled bbq sauce
→ Wrap each piece of chicken with 1-2 bacon slices, securing at ends with toothpicks if necessary.
→ Slather on a little bit more BBQ sauce and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
→ Cover a baking sheet with foil and place a baking rack on top of it (like a cooling rack you’d use for cookies). Place chicken on top of the rack and bake at 375 until chicken reaches 165 degrees inside. Mine took 20 minutes or so but it will vary depending on size. Serve with a simple green salad or your favorite veggie for a quick and easy dinner!
