25 min
3 servings

Ingredients

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

Directions

  1. 1

    Heat oven to 425°F. Spray 13 x 9-inch (3-quart) baking dish with cooking spray.

  2. 2

    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.

  3. 3

    Sprinkle barbecue seasoning all over chicken. Cut bacon slices into thirds to make 6 pieces. Cut Cheddar slices into fourths to make 12 pieces.

  4. 4

    Alternate placing cheese and bacon pieces into each slit in chicken. Add extra cheese or bacon to slits if there is any left.

  5. 5

    Bake uncovered about 15 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
