Time 30m

Yield 1 meal, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

4 bacon, strips
4 (4 ounce) boneless skinless, chicken breast halves
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup barbecue sauce
3 green onions, chopped
1 medium tomatoes, chopped
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Steps:

Cut bacon strips in half widthwise.
In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until cooked, but not crisp.
Remove to paper towels to drain, and keep warm.
Drain drippings from skillet, and cook chicken in butter over medium heat for 5-6 minutes on each side or until a meat thermometer reads 170 degrees.
Top each chicken breast with barbecue sauce , green onions, tomato, and 2 reserved bacon pieces.
Sprinkle with cheese.
Cover and cook for 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.

Tips:

Use bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs. The bones and skin help to keep the chicken moist and flavorful as it cooks.
Make sure the chicken is dry before you cook it. This will help the skin to crisp up.
Season the chicken generously with your favorite BBQ rub. This will give the chicken a delicious flavor.
Cook the chicken over medium heat. This will help to prevent the chicken from burning.
Flip the chicken halfway through cooking. This will help to ensure that the chicken is cooked evenly.
Baste the chicken with BBQ sauce during the last few minutes of cooking. This will give the chicken a sticky, caramelized glaze.
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken.

Conclusion:

Skillet barbecued chicken is a quick and easy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is also a great option for a casual party or potluck. The chicken is moist and flavorful, and the BBQ sauce gives it a delicious, smoky flavor. Serve it with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, coleslaw, or grilled vegetables.
