I used this recipe, but modified the amounts quite a bit. I took an 8 oz chicken breast, painted it with 2 Tbsp of the Jack Daniels BBQ sauce, put 3 pieces of the turkey bacon on top, and 1/4 cup Fat free cheddar. This makes 2 servings for me. It is still fantastic, without as many calories! - 6/26/10

Wowza!! Delicious! Only change we'd do,(recommended by my 17yr old) is put bacon on chicken first, then cheese. The melted cheese would help hold the bacon onto the chicken (our came off while cutting it). We also cooked the bacon for less time, that worked well for us. My kids loved this! - 1/23/10

This was delicious! I modified it slightly. I grilled the chicken on a gas grill and basted with bbq sauce. When the chicken was about done I sprinkled cheese on top then took 2 slices uncooked turkey bacon and wrapped the chicken/cheese mix in the bacon and finished grilling. Any grease is gone. - 4/22/10

I grilled the chicken, melted the cheese on top, cooked the bacon seperately, and added it to the chicken using only about 3 TB BBQ sauce. I made the 6 servings and only used 1/3 a bottle of sauce. A whole bottle? No way! I had no idea turkey bacon was that tasty! We'll definitely have this again. - 3/27/10

My family and I love this recipe & will prepare this regularly! I did tweek it a bit, we sprinkled the chicken with Mrs. Dash and baked it for 30 mins on 450. I then added minimal sweet baby rays bbq. I cooked bacon for 10 mins on 450, wrapped chicken in bacon and added cheese and melted it! Thx! - 2/16/10

This was a great hit last night with my family and trust me I have 3 VERY picky eaters. I did add some garlic and herb Mrs Dash to the chicken and instead of Jack Daniels BBQ sauce I used Sweet Baby Ray's This was so good. I server it with cheesy broccoli rice and salad. I will make this again - 2/15/10

This reminds me of a dish I love from Chili's...I always miss the smoky flavor the restaurants have, so I think I'll look for some grilled chicken in the freezer section...maybe even use fajita strips or whatever I can find...the rest can stay the same and I get to control the calories! Hurrah!! - 11/3/09

My family loved this recipe. I made a few adjustments. I used three regular chicken breast= 6 halves. I only made 6 pieces of turkey bacon. I seasoned the chicken with Webster's Kickin Chicken to give it some pizzazz. For the BQ I used Sweet Baby Rays- Sweet and Spicy. A+++. Thanks for sharing. :) - 1/19/13

I made this recipe tonight and loved it. I made some slight changes to suit my tastes, but the basics were the same. I took the bacon out of the oven at 12 minutes because it was starting to burn. I seasoned the chicken with Caribbean jerk seasoning and only used a little bit of BBQ sauce. Amazing. - 1/14/13

Omg this recipe is awesome and is so easy to make. My entire family absolutely loved this chicken. I replaced the reduced-fat cheese for Kraft's fat-free cheddar. I felt like I was eating at a restaurant. I served it with fresh steamed asparagus and White Romano Cheese Mashed potatoes for the kids. - 2/9/12

This chicken was very good. I did modify the recipe a bit. I baked the chicken with the BBQ sauce for 30 min covered, then 30 min uncovered at 325 degrees. Then, I sprinkled a little cheese on the chicken, added the bacon on top and sprinkled the rest of the cheese on top of the bacon. It was great! - 4/3/11

I recommend optimizing this recipe a bit: following these directions gave me burnt bacon and tough chicken. Cooking bacon at 450 deg for 5 min, NOT 15 min, was better. I also recommend baking the chicken, not grilling it, to avoid a tough exterior. A dish with potential, but recipe needs fine-tuning - 11/15/09
