South West Chicken Breast
ingredients:
However many chicken breasts you are going to serve
thick cut bacon (smoked flavor is best), enough for two slices per breast
paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper
your favorite BBQ sauce
5 cheese mexican blend
instructions:
Pre heat oven to 375f, puncture chicken breasts multiple times with a sharp knife then sprinkle a light layer of paprika and garlic powder onto the breasts, add salt and pepper to taste then hand rub the spices into the chicken getting it into the puncture holes. Grill the breasts until done (I prefer to use the George Foreman Grill, a lot juicier). While the chicken is grilling, cook bacon in a pan until almost done. You do not want the bacon to be crispy, leave it pliable so it will form to the chicken. Once the chicken is done place in a glass cooking pan or on a foil lined baking sheet, brush your favorite BBQ sauce onto both sides of the breasts, lay two slices of the bacon on top, sprinkle the cheese blend on top of the bacon then drizzle more BBQ sauce on top of everything. Cook in oven on middle rack until cheese is melted, the bacon should crisp up during this process as well. Serve hot, I prefer to make garlic cheese mashed baby red potatoes and grilled asparagus drizzled with olive oil and lemon as sides for this dish.
