📝 Preparation Steps
1
Cook bacon until browned and crisp (either on the stovetop, or make either Oven-Baked Bacon or Air Fryer Bacon), so it’s ready when the chicken comes off the grill.
2
Pound the chicken between two layers of plastic wrap until it reaches an even thickness of about 1/2 inch. Season all over with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
3
Preheat the grill or a large oiled oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken to the preheated grill or skillet and cook on the first side until nicely browned or charred (about ⏱️ 3-4 minutes). Flip and brush the cooked side with barbecue sauce. Once the chicken approaches an internal temperature of 165°F, flip it again and brush the second side with BBQ sauce. Once it reaches 165°F on a thermometer, remove from heat. If using a stovetop skillet, you can keep the chicken in the oven-safe skillet, or transfer it to a 9x13 casserole dish or rimmed baking sheet.
4
Brush the top of the chicken again with barbecue sauce. Top with bacon, then sprinkle with cheese. Broil for ⏱️ 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted.
5
Serve warm, garnished with diced tomatoes and chives.
