Bacon-Wrapped BBQ Chicken Breast | Juicy & Smoky from the Grill

Cut a pocket into the side of each chicken breast using a sharp knife (do not cut all the way through). Season lightly inside and outside with smoked paprika powder, garlic powder, salt, and freshly ground black pepper.

Generously fill each chicken breast pocket with the grated cheddar and press the opening together lightly. Then wrap each stuffed chicken breast tightly with the bacon slices so that the cheese remains well sealed inside. Secure with kitchen twine or toothpicks if needed.

In a small bowl, stir together the barbecue sauce and liquid honey. Set the glaze aside.
