Instructions
1
Begin by preheating your grill to medium heat.

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the bacon until crispy and browned on both sides. Remove from the skillet and let drain on paper towels.

While the bacon cools, rub the poultry seasoning evenly over each chicken breast to ensure they are well-flavored.

In the final stages of grilling, place two slices of crispy bacon on top of each chicken breast, followed by a slice of Monterey Jack pepper cheese. Close the grill lid and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
