Grilled chicken is a staple in our house. I think it is for almost everyone. Grilling chicken is an incredibly healthy and tasty way to cook it. But who wants plain grilled chicken every night? It can get a little boring, so I like to spice it up.
For these grilled chicken breasts, I added some of my favorite BBQ sauce, and then some thick sliced crispy bacon (I used a spicier black pepper bacon). To top it off, I melted a piece of Swiss down on top. But these were just for my son. I had to make ours even spicier.
So for our chicken breasts, I added the same ingredients, but also added some fresh sliced jalapeno peppers underneath the cheese.
These chicken breasts go great with a fresh salad as shown, but would also be wonderful in a sandwich with some fries on the side.
Yield: Serves 4
BBQ Bacon Swiss Grilled Chicken
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup sliced jalapeño or serrano peppers (optional)
- 1/4 cup BBQ sauce
- 4 slices swiss cheese
- 4 slices thick cut bacon, cooked crisp
- 2 teaspoons grill seasoning
- 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Directions:
- Preheat grill. Place chicken breasts on a cutting board and top with saran wrap or parchment paper. Use a heavy skillet or meat mallet to pound chicken breasts to an even thickness. Cut each breast in half so you have 4 chicken breasts.
- Add grill seasoning to both sides of chicken breasts. Place chicken on grill and cook until done, about 15 - 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken breast has reached 165 degrees.
- When chicken is done, brush the top of each breast with BBQ sauce. Then top with bacon, peppers if desired, and then swiss cheese.
- Tent breasts with aluminum foil. Continue to grill for 2 - 3 minutes, or until cheese has melted.
- Serve with a fresh salad, or as a sandwich.
