Step 1

Place the bacon into a medium-sized skillet over medium-low heat and cook until crispy, drain on a paper towel-lined plate, set aside. Season chicken breasts with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Place on a plate until ready to grill.

Step 2

Place chicken on the grill over medium heat. Let cook until almost done. When the chicken has an internal temperature of 150°F, baste with BBQ sauce on both sides and continue cooking until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. (Don't baste the chicken as soon as it hits the grill or else the sugars in the BBQ sauce will burn.)

Step 3

When chicken is cooked through, place half of the bacon on top of each piece. Mix the cheeses together and spread evenly over each piece.

Step 4

Place the top of the grill down and let the cheese melt, this will only take a couple of minutes. Serve immediately.
