bbq pepper jack chicken

boneless chicken breasts
seasoned salt
Sweet Baby Ray’s or another BBQ sauce
pepper jack cheese slices

If the chicken breasts are frozen, go ahead and put them on the hot grill. Let them thaw a bit and then sprinkle them with seasoned salt. If they’re already thawed you can add the seasoned salt before you put them on the grill. Cook them until they are nearly done, then baste with barbecue sauce. Top each chicken breast with a slice of cheese, letting it melt before removing the chicken from the grill.

So there are bunches of ways you could do this! This is the way we chose to do it:
First, put a layer of crumb mixture on the countertop or cutting board. Then, grab a handful of the chicken/veggie mixture and press it down onto the crumb mixture. Then sprinkle the chicken with more crumbs and press down into the meat to coat it. We used a pizza cutter to just cut bite-size squares (My mom and I didn't figure my dad would be impressed by fun shapes :) ) You could just make single chicken nuggets and press them each into the crumb mixture, or your could cut them into shapes with cookie cutters. Just do as you please! Now place the chicken nuggets on the prepared cookie sheet and bake them for 14-16 minutes in your preheated oven.
