Ingredients: 2 TBS olive oil 2 garlic cloves, pressed 4 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts 1 cup barbecue sauce 4 scallions, tops included, chopped 4 slices cooked turkey bacon, crumbled 4 Roma tomatoes, diced 4 slices mozzarella or provalone cheese or low-fat slices
In large skillet, cook garlic in oil on medium-high heat for about one minute. Place chicken into hot oil and sear on both sides, 2-3 minutes on each side. Place lid on skillet and drop heat to medium to cook chicken thoroughly (about 5 minutes). Reduce heat to simmer and coat the chicken with barbecue sauce. Top with scallions, bacon and tomatoes, then cover each chicken breast with a slice of cheese (which will hold the topping in place as it melts).
