Ingredients

  • 6 chicken breasts
  • 12 pieces of bacon cooked
  • 1/2 cup Martinez Fire Roasted Peach Salsa
  • 1/2 BBQ sauce

For the Cheese Sauce:

  • 2 Tablespoons butter
  • 2 Tablespoons flour
  • 1/4 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 6 ounces Smoked Gouda cheese shredded
  • Chives optional
  • 1 pound hash brown potatoes fried crispy, for serving

Instructions

  • Mix together: BBQ sauce and Martinez Fire Roasted Peach Salsa
  • Place chicken breasts in a zippered gallon sized bag. Pour BBQ/Salsa mixture over chicken. Seal the bag and squeeze the chicken around in the bag to coat. Place in fridge for 2 hours. Flip the bag a couple of times, if you're able to, to coat the chicken evenly in the marinade.
  • Grill chicken.
  • To prepare the cheese sauce: In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add the flour. Whisk until there are no lumps. Add milk, whisking constantly until smooth. Add chili powder, salt and pepper. Stir constantly for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the shredded smoked Gouda.
  • Top each grilled chicken breast with 2 slices of bacon.
  • To plate: Place hash browns on plate, top with chicken/bacon. Pour warm cheese sauce over the top. Sprinkle with chives if desired.
  • Top each piece with two bacon slices.
