BBQ Chicken and Bacon
1 pound chicken breasts
BBQ Sauce (regular or honey)
6 slices cooked bacon
sliced mozzarella cheese
Place chicken in crockpot. Cover with BBQ sauce (it usually takes about half or three quarters of a bottle). Cook on low 4-6 hours (until chicken is cooked through). Remove chicken and place on cookie sheet lined with aluminum foil. Place cooked bacon and cheese on top of chicken. You can drizzle additional BBQ sauce over the chicken. Bake in the oven at 350 degrees until cheese is melted (about 5 minutes).
