Categories     Dinner

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

5 chicken breasts
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon pepper
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
20 slices bacon
1 cup BBQ sauce, divided
10 slices cheddar cheese
2 green bell peppers, sliced
½ red onion, sliced
2 red bell peppers, sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
  • Cut each chicken breast in half crosswise, then cut the larger half again horizontally, creating 3 cutlets. Transfer to a large bowl.
  • In a small bowl, combine the salt, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, chili powder, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Stir to combine.
  • Pour the spice mix over the chicken cutlets and toss to coat completely in the seasoning. Set the chicken aside.
  • Arrange the bacon slices in a 9x5-inch (23x13-cm) loaf pan, making sure the bottom and sides are fully covered, and that the strips hang over the sides.
  • Layer in 4 seasoned chicken cutlets, 2 tablespoons of barbecue sauce, 5 slices of cheddar cheese, 4 more chicken cutlets, another 2 tablespoons of barbecue sauce, the green pepper, onion, 2 tablespoons of barbecue sauce, the red pepper, 5 remaining cheese slices, and the remaining chicken. Then, wrap the overhanging strips of bacon over the top of the loaf.
  • Cover the loaf with foil and bake for 1 hour. Then remove the foil, drain any excess fat, and bake for another 30 minutes uncovered, making sure the chicken is cooked through and the bacon is brown and crispy.
  • Remove the bacon loaf from the oven and turn on the broiler. Invert the loaf onto a wire rack set atop a baking sheet and baste the loaf with the remaining barbecue sauce.
  • Broil for 5 minutes, until the glaze dries slightly.
  • Slice and serve with rolls or other barbecue party food.
  • Enjoy!

This chicken loaf was a bit dry for my taste. I think I would add more liquid next time, maybe some chicken broth or milk.
