BBQ Cheesy Bacon Chicken

What’s the only thing that can make BBQ chicken better? Bacon and cheese! This recipe will have your mouth watering the whole time it cooks! Make sure you wait! You don’t want to eat undercooked chicken! It’s well worth waiting for, we promise!

Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Salt & pepper
Your favorite BBQ sauce (we like Sweet Baby Ray’s Hickory and Brown Sugar)
8 slices of cooked bacon
3/4 C. shredded Monterey cheddar cheese
Chives (optional)

Directions

1. Preheat your grill while you prepare the chicken. Set one side on high heat and one on no heat for indirect grilling. If using a charcoal grill, push all the coals to one side of the grill once they are white.


2. Pound the chicken so that the thickness is consistent and it cooks evenly. Season with salt and pepper.


3. Sear each side of the chicken on the hot side of the grill so that it’s browned. Move chicken to the cool side, leaving the high heat side going. Cover the chicken with a thick layer of BBQ sauce and let it cook around 10 minutes with the grill lid closed.


4. Flip the chicken and slather it in another good coating of BBQ sauce. Let it cook another 10 minutes (grill lid closed) or until done.


5. Top each chicken breast with two slices of bacon and sprinkle with cheese. Heat just until the cheese is melted.


6. Remove the chicken from the grill. Tent loosely with tin foil and let it rest for about 5-10 minutes. This will allow it time to redistribute the juices and finish cooking.

This recipe can easily be adapted so that you can make it on the stove, in the oven, or over the campfire.

These recipes are quick and simple to make! Creating a delicious dinner without the trouble will give you more time to enjoy your campsite and fellow campers! What are some of your favorite summertime recipes while RVing?
