Time 25m

Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 1/2 lb)
2 tablespoons barbecue seasoning
2 slices cooked bacon
3 slices Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425°F. Spray 13 x 9-inch (3-quart) baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Make cuts 1/2 inch apart on each chicken breast from top to almost bottom, forming pockets, being careful not to cut all the way through.
  • Sprinkle barbecue seasoning all over chicken. Cut bacon slices into thirds to make 6 pieces. Cut Cheddar slices into fourths to make 12 pieces.
  • Alternate placing cheese and bacon pieces into each slit in chicken. Add extra cheese or bacon to slits if there is any left.
  • Bake uncovered about 15 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
