A delightful twist on a classic favorite, this recipe combines juicy chicken, smoky barbecue sauce, crispy bacon, and melted cheese for a dish that's sure to please.
Flatten the chicken breasts to an even thickness and season with salt and pepper.
Flattening the chicken ensures even cooking and prevents dry spots.
Cook the chicken breasts in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until fully cooked.
Cover the skillet with a lid to retain moisture and cook the chicken evenly.
Transfer the cooked chicken to an oven-safe dish and top each piece with barbecue sauce, bacon, and shredded cheese.
Layer the toppings evenly to ensure each bite is flavorful.
Place the dish under the broiler until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Keep a close eye on the broiler to prevent the cheese from burning.
Garnish with chopped tomatoes and fresh chives before serving.
Adding fresh garnish enhances the presentation and adds a burst of flavor.
Serve the chicken hot with your favorite side dishes.
Pair with a fresh salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
