Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a large jellyroll pan (or large cookie sheet with rim) with foil so it's hanging over a little. Line up bacon side by side in jellroll pan (may overlap a bit) and bake for 12 minutes. You want to partially cook it and still have it limp. Do not drain off bacon grease from jellyroll pan, you will need this later in the pan. Increase oven temp to 400 degrees.
- 2. Trim your chicken breasts of excess fat, if any, and slice chicken breasts in half lengthwise so you have two large tenders from each whole breast. Take 4 of your pieces of bacon and cut in half. Wrap 1 whole and 1 half piece of bacon around each chicken breast tender making sure ends of bacon are tucked under bottom of chicken piece.
- 3. Place all of your bacon wrapped chicken in same jellyroll pan you cooked the bacon in with reserved bacon grease. Baste chicken pieces with BBQ sauce, using about 1/2 cup of sauce. Bake in oven for 20 minutes, check for doneness. Remove from oven and baste chicken with remaining BBQ sauce. Turn oven to broil and broil chicken for 3~4 minutes to crisp up the bacon and carmalize the BBQ sauce slightly. Keep an eye on it so it doesn't burn.
- 4. Remove from oven and place chicken on serving platter. Sprinkle the cheddar cheese over all of the chicken and let melt. Enjoy!!
Tips:
- Choose the right chicken breasts: Look for large, boneless, skinless chicken breasts that are about the same size so they cook evenly.
- Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will help you make clean, even cuts in the chicken breasts and bacon.
- Pound the chicken breasts: Pounding the chicken breasts helps to tenderize them and make them more evenly thick, which helps them cook evenly.
- Season the chicken breasts: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings before wrapping them in bacon.
- Use a good quality bacon: The quality of the bacon you use will make a big difference in the final flavor of the dish. Look for a bacon that is thick-cut and has a good smoky flavor.
- Wrap the chicken breasts tightly: Wrap the chicken breasts tightly in the bacon, making sure that the bacon is evenly distributed. This will help to keep the chicken breasts moist and flavorful.
- Cook the chicken breasts over medium heat: Cook the chicken breasts over medium heat so that they have a chance to cook through without burning.
- Baste the chicken breasts with the glaze: Baste the chicken breasts with the glaze every few minutes to help them caramelize and develop a delicious flavor.
