        You can add more BBQ sauce for flavor.

        We make with boneless pork chops instead of chicken. Very good. We deemed it a keeper.

        Try this baked asparagus with Gruyere cheese, garlic, and bacon or these green beans with pine nuts.

        Were having it with rice tonite. But mashed potatoes would be delicious as well!

      Such a different recipe that turned out so good! I'm glad I read the other comments before cooking. I just used 2 chicken breasts & sliced them in half to make them thinner & they were cooked perfectly in 25 minutes! I also used sweet onions instead.. My husband approved so I will be making again!

        It was good but I would tweak some things next time. Definitely need to cut the breasts in had to make thinner. I would tray marinating the chicken with some salt pepper garlic powder and maybe some bbq sauce and the pineapple juice. I will salt and pepper before I add all the toppings and I would cook halfway then add the cheese so it’s still bubbly and gooey mine was more brown and slid off the chicken when you cut into it. But great recipe will be trying again with above changes thanks
