Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 4 slices crispy bacon
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
  • 1 piece ripe avocado, sliced
  • 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil for grilling

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper and brush with olive oil.
Cooking
  1. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked.
  2. During the last few minutes of grilling, top each chicken breast with crispy bacon and shredded cheese. Cover the grill to allow the cheese to melt.
  3. Remove the chicken from the grill and top with sliced avocado and barbecue sauce before serving.

Notes

Leftovers keep well in the fridge for 3-4 days in an airtight container. Can be reheated in the microwave or oven.
