A delightful twist on a classic chicken dish, combining sweet and savory flavors with a cheesy topping.
Combine the honey, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, and salt in a mixing bowl.
Mix the marinade thoroughly to ensure all flavors are well combined.
Place the chicken breasts in a zip-top bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Marinating overnight will enhance the flavor of the chicken.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for 6-8 minutes per side, or until fully cooked.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
While the chicken is grilling, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Set aside.
Drain the bacon on paper towels to remove excess grease.
Once the chicken is cooked, place it on a microwave-safe plate. Top each breast with barbecue sauce, two slices of bacon, and shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
Layer the toppings evenly for consistent flavor in each bite.
Microwave the chicken for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted. Alternatively, broil for 1-2 minutes.
Keep an eye on the cheese to avoid over-melting.
Serve the chicken hot with your favorite sides, such as a fresh salad or roasted vegetables.
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley for added color and flavor.
