Cooking Instructions

HIDE IMAGES
Step 1
Remove Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts (3) from the refrigerator. Brush all over with Olive Oil (as needed) . and season both sides with Coarse Kosher Salt (to taste) and Freshly Ground Black Pepper (to taste) . Allow chicken to rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Step 2
Preheat a gas grill to medium-high heat. If chicken is coated with oil, there is no need to oil the grates.
Step 3
Using metal tongs, place the chicken breasts on preheated grill; meaty side down. Generously brush the exposed side of each breast with Barbecue Sauce (1/2 cup) . Close the grill cover.
Step 4
Once you have substantial grill marks, (about 4-5 minutes for thick breasts; 2-3 minutes for thin cuts) flip breasts.
Step 5
Turn the grill off. Flip chicken; add Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese (1/2 cup) . Cover until cheese is melted. Transfer to a dish to keep warm.
Step 6
When ready to serve, top each breast with about 1/4 cup of Salsa (3/4 cup) and sprinkle with Thick-Cut Bacon (4 slices) and Scallions (1/4 cup) . Add some Fresh Parsley (to taste) for garnish, if desired. Serve with Lime Wedges (to taste) .
