BBQ Chicken with Bacon and Cheddar Recipe
Ingredients
- 6 chicken breasts
- 6 slices bacon
- 1 10-ounce package Cheddar cheese,, sliced into about 18 – 24 slices
- 1 recipe Peach BBQ sauce
Instructions
- Preheat grill to 350º F degrees.
- Wrap each chicken breast with a slice of bacon, stretching it to ensure wrapped tightly. If needed, secure with a toothpick. Place chicken onto grill and grill until cooked throughout. Chicken should register 165º F when measured with an internal meat probe.
- Once chicken registers 165º F, spoon on peach BBQ sauce and lightly spread to cover. Then place three to four slices of Cheddar cheese on top of bbq sauce. Then, drizzle more bbq sauce on top of Cheddar cheese. Cook on grill about 3-5 more minutes to allow cheese to begin to melt.
- Remove from grill and serve immediately.

My favorite cheesy summer dish is extra cheesy pizza!
Robyn: Maybe I’m missing the obvious but I have no idea what is meant by the “Promotion Prompt” that they’re requiring us to enter. I’m trying to use the alternate method for my second entry, have filled out my information, except what the heck is the “Promotion Prompt”?
Thanks!
I guess this is more of a side dish but I’ve been obsessed with buffalo chicken dip with extra cheddar this summer…. ah pregnancy cravings!
I know this doesn’t sound like a ‘summer dish’ but hey, it’s yummy anytime of the year…..King Ranch Casserole is what came to mind.

I love fruit and cheese when it is too hot to cook. I also add cheese to salads when making a meatless meal.
I love Cracker Barrel Cheese! I haven’t seen their aged cheddar so I will have to go look for it. Plus, I love your simple grilling recipe. I’m going to give it a try. =)
It’s so simple ! I’d have to say my favorite summer cheesy dish is shredded zucchini sautéed in butter and olive oil till it just begins to brown, then add a generous handful of grated Parmesan, and freshly ground black pepper. That’s it !
