    What could be better than tender grilled chicken topped with cheese and bacon?

    Free Guide! Feed a Family on a Low Carb Diet

    In this free 5-day email series learn all my tips for incorporating a low-carb lifestyle into the life of your family.

    We have made my Cheesy Bacon Chicken so many times the last few months that I knew I needed to revamp this recipe to make it grilling friendly.

    Grilled chicken is a summer staple in our house but it can get boring. Bacon and cheddar are never boring. I knew that covering the grilled chicken with my easy Smoked Paprika Rub, cheddar, and bacon would take it up a notch.

    Ingredients: 

    5-6 chicken breasts, cut in half width-wise (about 2.5-3 lbs.)

    2-4 tablespoon seasoning rub (I use my smoked paprika rub, but you can use a seasoning salt or bbq rub - basically any rub with salt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika - not an herb rub)

    1 cup bacon crumbles

    1 cup shredded cheddar

    sugar free barbecue sauce, optional, to serve

    • 2-4 tablespoon seasoning rub I use my smoked paprika rub, but you can use a seasoning salt or bbq rub - basically any rub with salt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika - not an herb rub

    Instructions

    • At least thirty minutes before cooking put the chicken in a large bowl and toss with the seasoning rub. Refrigerate until ready to grill.
    • Preheat grill. (This is optional but we like to spray the grill with grill cooking spray so the chicken doesn't stick). Combine the shredded cheese and bacon crumbles in a bowl.
    • Grill the chicken until cooked through and 160 degrees. We are big fans of meat thermometers.
    • Move the chicken onto a metal pan (I use a disposable aluminum lasagna pans) and sprinkle the cheese oven the bacon. Put the pan back on the grill for about 5 min until the cheese is melted. Serve plain or with barbecue sauce.

      The cheesy bacon chicken looks good; however, the recipe didn't mention (that I noticed) whether the chicken had its skin and bones or not. I am guessing not, but am going boldly forth to try it with my chicken breast which has both. Glad to find your recipes!

        No, I use boneless skinless chicken for this. Bone in chicken would work but having the skin on under the bacon and cheese may cause the skin to be soggy.

        No, you are right. Somehow my recipe plugin isn't there. I'll fix it later today when I get home. Sorry!
