Oh my doesn’t this Pepper Jack Chicken with Bacon just make your mouth salivate? I am wishing we had smell-a-vision right now so you could all smell the amazingness of this delicious meal!
The ingredients for this dish are pretty self explanatory. They are all items you can easily find at your local grocery store. I definitely recommend sticking with Sweet Baby Rays for your BBQ brand as it is simply the best (in my opinion) but as for the remaining ingredients, the brand really does not matter one bit.
INGREDIENTS
2 lb Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast
6 slices Bacon
1 tsp minced Garlic
1/4 cup flour
Salt and Pepper to taste
4 tbsp Sweet Baby Ray’s Barbecue Sauce
4 oz Pepper Jack Cheese
1 cup Multicolor Peppers, cut into strips
1/2 cup Onions, cut into strips
DIRECTIONS
First make sure to preheat your oven to 375 and spray your baking dish with nonstick spray.
Next, fry the bacon until cooked fully, but not too crisp. Remove most of bacon grease leaving 1-2 tablespoons in skillet.
Now you will want to sautee peppers, garlic and onions over medium heat until they are tender. Once tender remove the veggies and set aside.
Take your chicken breasts and split them into halves (a thickness of about 1/2 inches). Dip each piece in flour and season with salt and pepper. Cook chicken in the skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes per side side, until cooked through.
Finally, arrange the chicken breasts in prepared dish, slather the chicken with barbecue sauce, top them all with the sauteed veggies, sprinkle Pepper Jack cheese over top and top with bacon. Bake for 6-7 minutes or until cheese is fully melted and golden brown.
