For extra flavor, marinate the chicken breasts in your favorite BBQ sauce for at least 30 minutes before cooking. Consider using different types of cheese such as Monterey Jack, or a blend of cheeses for a more complex flavor profile. To prevent the bacon from shrinking too much, you can partially cook the bacon before wrapping it around the chicken. Serve with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete and balanced meal.
