Mesquite Chicken

2-3 Chicken Breasts, thawed
3 slices of bacon, cut in half (I use turkey bacon)
Barbeque Sauce
Chicken Seasoning (I use Mesquite Seasoning by McCormick)
Cheese
Stewed Tomatoes (I use Rotel or Regular Stewed Tomatoes w/ Green Chilies) - optional

I cook the bacon in a skillet until it is done, but not crispy.  I pound this chicken down so that it is thin.  I usually do two chicken breasts, but I only have to feed me and Ryan and our not-so-little runt.  After the bacon is done (and you have taken it out of the skillet) I grill the chicken in the same skillet that the bacon was in and sprinkle the Mesquites Seasoning on both sides of the chicken until the chicken is mostly cooked thru.  Put the chicken in a sprayed casserole dish.  Coat the chicken with a layer of barbeque sauce.  Put the bacon over the chicken.  Put the cheese over the chicken and the stewed tomatoes over the cheese.  Bake in the over on 350* for 20-30 minutes until the chicken is cooked thru.
