Ingredients

4 chicken breasts boneless skinless
¼ cup honey
¼ cup soy sauce
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon garlic minced
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
8 slices applewood smoked bacon
½ cup barbecue sauce
1 cup Monterey jack cheese shredded
2 Roma tomatoes diced
¼ cup green onions chopped

Instructions

Mix ¼ cup honey, ¼ cup soy sauce, 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon garlic minced, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper in a large sealable bag or bowl.
Add 4 chicken breasts to the marinade and marinate for at least an hour or overnight.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the marinated chicken into a 9x13-inch baking dish. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30-40 minutes, until the chicken has fully cooked.
While the chicken is baking, fry 8 slices applewood smoked bacon, roughly chop it, and set it aside.
Pull the chicken out of the oven, remove the foil, top each chicken cutlet with some of the ½ cup barbecue sauce, cooked bacon, and shredded 1 cup Monterey jack cheese.
Set the broiler to high and broil the chicken until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish with 2 Roma tomatoes chopped and ¼ cup green onions. Serve fresh, and enjoy!
