The rich and creamy texture of the cheddar paired with the spicy, sweet and smokey flavor of the peach BBQ sauce is perfection on a plate! So easy to pull together for a quick weeknight meal, yet perfect for entertaining friends and family on the weekends as well. I just love recipes like that!

How to Make It

First, preheat grill to 350º F degrees.
 
Then wrap each chicken breast with a slice of bacon, stretching it to ensure wrapped tightly. If needed, secure with a toothpick.
 
Place chicken onto the grill and grill until cooked throughout. To be done, 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.
