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!

I made this recipe when my family and I went camping. Very easy to make. We tried it with Swiss cheese, and my young daughters loved it.

We all agreed that we like the flavor of this dish, but the cooking time was way off. I used the oven broiler method and even though I only broiled it the minimum length of time indicated, it was overdone. I will either cut back the cooking time even more or try it on the outdoor grill.

yum! I don't like Pepper Jack cheese so substitute with whatever I've got in the fridge.

This is going to become a staple in my home. I agree to using more cheese next time. I basted the chicken a total of 4 times with as much BBQ sauce as I could fit on there! It made for a very tasty meal, as we paired it with rice & broccoli.

This was good but could be better. Next time I will more than likely marinate the chicken for a while before grilling. Also I will try to put in 2-3 layers of cheese. The one layer soaked into the ckicken and out on to the grill so not much was left for flavor. This one has potential.
