Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 6 boneless chicken breasts; 12 pieces of bacon; 6 slices Swiss or Provolone cheese; 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded; 1/4 cup soy sauce; 1/ 4 cup Worcestershire sauce; 1 cup barbeque sauce of your choice; seasoned salt; black pepper; garlic powder

1
Cook the bacon in skillet until is is just almost done, but not completely crisp. Remove from pan. Sprinkle chicken with seasoned salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Brown chicken breasts in the bacon drippings in the skillet on each side. Do not cook through, just brown for about 5 minutes.
2
Remove chicken to a baking dish you have sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Pour a little soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce on each breast. Brush each chicken breast with barbeque sauce. Use about 1/2 of the barbeque sauce and save the other half. Place 2 strips of bacon on each piece of chicken. Wrap the dish tightly with foil and place in a 350 degree oven for about 40 minutes.
3
Remove foil and brush each piece with more barbeque sauce to your taste. Place a slice of cheese on each breast and then sprinkle with some of the cheddar cheese. You can just use the Swiss or Provolone cheese, but the color of the cheddar makes the dish prettier. Turn the oven up to 425 degrees and place back in the oven until the cheese melts and bubbles, about 10 minutes or so. Don't let it stay in too long or the cheese will melt and disappear.
