Description

Ingredients

• 5-6 chicken breasts, cut in half width wise (about 2.5-3 lbs.)
• 2-4 tbsp seasoning rub (I use my smoked paprika rub, but you can use a seasoning salt or bbq rub - basically any rub with salt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika - not an herb rub)
• 1 cup bacon crumbles
• 1 cup shredded cheddar
• sugar free barbecue sauce, optional, to serve

Directions

• At least thirty minutes before cooking put the chicken in a large bowl and toss with the seasoning rub. Refrigerate until ready to grill.
• Preheat grill. (This is optional but we like to spray the grill with grill cooking spray so the chicken doesnt stick). Combine the shredded cheese and bacon crumbles in a bowl.
• Grill the chicken until cooked through and 160 degrees. We are big fans of meat thermometers.
• Move the chicken onto a metal pan (I use a disposable aluminum lasagna pans) and sprinkle the cheese oven the bacon. Put the pan back on the grill for about 5 min until the cheese is melted. Serve plain or with barbecue sauce.
