6 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
Olive oil
Salt & pepper, to taste
½ cup BBQ sauce
½ cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
½ cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
6 slices bacon, cooked and chopped
2 Roma tomatoes, seeded and chopped
3 green onions, chopped

Preheat oven to 450°F. Place chicken breasts in a single layer in a large baking dish. Brush both sides of each chicken breast evenly with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove the chicken from the oven and brush the tops and sides of each chicken breast evenly with BBQ Sauce. Return the chicken to the oven for 5 minutes. Remove the chicken from the oven and sprinkle both kinds of cheese evenly over the top of the chicken breasts. Evenly sprinkle the bacon over the top. Return the chicken to the oven for 3-5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the chicken is no longer pink. Remove the chicken from the oven and evenly top with tomatoes and green onions. Loosely cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
