Equipment

Ingredients

4 medium boneless skinless chicken breasts
Salt and pepper
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 cup Easy Keto BBQ Sauce
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese or Monterey Jack
4 slices bacon cooked crisp and crumbled
1/2 cup fresh tomatoes diced
2 green onions sliced

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375ºF.
Pat the chicken breasts dry and season all over with salt and pepper. If one or two are thicker than the others, pound them with a meat mallet so they are of even thickness.
Heat the oil in a 10-inch oven proof skillet over medium high heat until shimmering. Cook the chicken 4 to 6 minutes per side, until the center reaches 160ºF on an instant read thermometer.
Spread BBQ sauce over each breast, then sprinkle with shredded cheese.
Place the whole skillet in the oven for 5, until the cheese is melted. Remove from the oven and top with bacon, tomatoes, and green onion.

Notes

Storage Information: Store the chicken in a covered container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
