  1. Great recipe. I worked at Chili's for a couple of years and absolutely love this dish. The only thing is in order to make it truly authentic you need to cook the chicken on a gas grill, not over the stove, and it's best to melt the cheese under a broiler. That's how they do it at the restaurant. Other than that it's perfect :-)
     
  2. this was good. i cooked the chicken in the bacon drippings instead of pam for extra flavor.
     
  3. Pretty tasty and quick. Prepared this with my homemade bbq sauce, thick cut bacon left over from breakfast, and locally made Bothwell cheddar cheese. I cooked the chicken breasts in a Foreman grill, then topped and finished them off under the broiler in the toaster oven. Nothing too special or particularly healthy about this recipe, but it was indeed tasty. I'm sure my husband will enjoy it.
     
  4. I actually created an account so I could review this! This was one of the best dinners I've made in a while! Everyone loved it! Even my 2 youngest that wanted their chicken left plain kept asking for a bite of mine! I grilled the chicken then topped it with left over bacon from breakfast, Sweet Baby Ray's honey bbq sauce, cheese and chives then popped it in the toaster oven on broil for a short time. Quick and easy, especially when using already cooked bacon! Thanks for posting.
     
  5. Everyone at the table adored this. Very delicious chicken. I dusted it with some of Emeril's Essence along with salt and pepper before sauteing. And I didn't use a lot of barbeque sauce on each piece, just a thin spreading. Topped with chopped cold tomatoes, green onion and parsley before serving. Great, great, great!

  1. this is a great recipe that comes together quick, and is pretty darn close to the 1 at chili's. one thing i did change was using boneless skinless tenderloins instead of the big chicken breast. also we like a little heat, so i added about a tablespoon of the tabasco chipotle sauce while i cooked the chicken. this recipe came out fantastic! thanks for a great recipe, this is going to be made at our house plenty of times!
     
  2. This was very easy and tasty. I grilled the chicken on the george foreman and used scallions instead of chives. Served it with a baked potato, and salad.
