This recipe is quick and easy. Also delicious!

Best of all .. lower in calories. You can't get much better than that.

This is a good, easy recipe. I used Provolone cheese instead of pepper jack.

If only you could grill this and the cheese didn't melt all out. It's great tasting and a great idea, but I think putting the cheese in at the end is the way. No way you can grill this without losing all the cheese. I think you need to cut the pocket, grill and baste it with the barbecue sauce and the last 5 minutes or so, stuff the cheese into the pocket.

Everyone in my house loved this..I thought the cheese may be too spicy for my little ones but they loved it..a nice easy change.

A quick & easy favorite. My fiance has often requested for me to make it again. We like to just add the pepperjack when the chicken is about done cooking rather than placing the slice of cheese inside the chicken breast because it seems like it melts too much when it's under the broiler that long. Countryside BBQ sauce is great in this recipe.

This recipe was delish! I used about 3 slices of cheese after reading other reviews and it was wonderful paired with my seasoned green beans and corn bread... this will definitely be a staple in my home :)

Chicken tastes yummy, but the nutritional is very wrong for 4 servings. Just the 6 ounces of chicken is over 200 calories. Add in the cheese and barbecue sauce, and you're easily over 300 calories. A 6 ounce serving is too big anyway.

Very yummy chicken! I used pepper jack cheese for me and provolone for the rest of my family. The cheese definitely melted out so more is better. I used chicken tenders and baked them in the oven at 375 for 30 min. I don't normally like pepper jack, but this went really well with the bbq sauce.

Quick and delicious! I put some croutons in with the cheese as well to add more of a "stuffing".

I made this using provalone and marinara sauce for an Italian twist. Wonderful!
