Smoky Mountain Chicken is chicken that is glazed with a bbq sauce, baked in the oven and topped off with cheese, bacon, green onions and tomatoes. The combination of flavors really come together well in this recipe. If you would prefer you can grill the chicken instead of baking it or you could use the fry-pan and cover it to melt the cheese when finishing the cooking process. You can buy the BBQ sauce from the store or even make your own. I like to serve this recipe with a cold pasta salad. Enjoy.
