1
Prepare the Chicken
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness for uniform cooking. Season both sides with Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
2
Cook the Bacon
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the thick-cut bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.
3
Grill the Chicken
Drizzle olive oil on the grill grates. Place the seasoned chicken breasts on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
4
Add Goat Cheese
In the last few minutes of cooking, place crumbled goat cheese on top of each chicken breast, cover the grill, and let it melt slightly.
5
Combine and Serve
Once the chicken is cooked, remove from the grill. Top each piece with crispy bacon, and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Serve immediately.
