Chicken Is A Great Staple

In our house we eat A LOT of chicken. My mother often jokes about that and how all we eat is chicken, and it is so true. Chicken is great source of protein and you can prepare it just about anyway. I found this great recipe on Linda's site called Houston Chicken. It reminded me of a chicken sandwhich, sans the bun. It has a low carb BBQ sauce on it, which I got from Linda's site also, bacon and cheese!! I had to tweak the sauce to our liking, bc it was a bit too sweet for us, so I added a bit of Corky's BBQ sauce in with ours, which made the carb count a bit higher, but, other than that it was pretty easy. It makes a big enough batch to where I could put it in a jar and keep it in the fridge for future uses. I also did green beans for the side. Everyone LOVED the dish and Jason requested that I cook this at least once a week!! A bit of a warning though, the recipe says to put your top rack as high as it can go to get it close to the broiler, then broil the chicken for 3 minutes to cook the bacon more (I did the easier method of the recipe). PLEASE BE CAREFUL!! I did what it said and I then saw smoke coming out of the oven and when I opened the door, there were some flames!! I actually put the rack on the secnd to highest, because I felt the highest setting was too high. So, just keep an eye on it when you do this!! BBQ sauce cooking

Final Product!
This is a great recipe and so good!! The bacon makes the dish and it was very satisfying!! I only ate HALF a chicken breast and it filled me up. I did want to eat some more because the taste was incredible, but I was full! Happy Eating!
