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.
