FOR SERVING:

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Slice chicken breast in half horizontally and season well with salt and pepper.
Add barbecue sauce to the bottom of your oven-safe baking dish. Add the chicken to the baking dish and coat the chicken well with more barbecue sauce.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a thermometer inserted reads 165 degrees.
While the chicken is baking, cook the bacon. Drain on paper towels. Chop the bacon once cooled and crisp.
Turn on the broiler or increase the heat to 425 degrees.
Add grated cheese and diced tomatoes to the top of each breast and broil/heat until the cheese is melted.
Add chopped parsley and bacon. Serve with baked potato and a dollop of sour cream and garnish with sliced green onions.
I like to give the chicken another sprinkling of salt and pepper before serving and spoon some of the barbecue sauce on the plate for dipping.
