Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare Chicken

    Preheat your grill or oven to 375°F (190°C). Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and place them in a large bowl.

  2. 2

    Season Chicken

    Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken breasts. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Rub the seasonings into the chicken to ensure even coverage.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Grill or Bake Chicken

    Place the seasoned chicken on the preheated grill or baking sheet. Cook for about 6-7 minutes per side (or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F/75°C).

  2. 4

    Add BBQ Sauce

    Once cooked, brush the BBQ sauce generously over the chicken breasts. Let them cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to caramelize the sauce.

  3. 5

    Top with Mozzarella and Onions

    Remove the chicken from the grill or oven. Evenly distribute the shredded mozzarella on top of each chicken breast, followed by the sliced red onion.

  4. 6

    Melt Cheese

    Return the chicken to the grill or place it under the broiler for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Serving

  1. 7

    Serve

    Remove the BBQ chicken from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve warm, garnished with additional BBQ sauce if desired.
