Red Lobster Maple Bacon Chicken Recipe
This Red Lobster maple bacon chicken is all about that balance of smoky, sweet, and savory in every bite.I cook the bacon until just crispy, then brush the chicken with a maple glaze while grilling to get a light caramelization.A mix of cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese melts into the chicken perfectly, giving it that signature richness.Letting the chicken rest under foil for five minutes after cooking keeps it juicy and helps the cheese settle.
