I love cooking, but not on Sunday nights.  That's when I want to order a pizza and watch a movie on the couch with my husband and kids.  Sundays are for remembering how much you'll miss your family when you head off to work Monday morning.  Tonight I wasn't in a "pizza place" but I didn't want to waste time going to the store.  So I scrounged around the freezer and fridge and came up with this chicken, BBQ, cheese and bacon masterpiece.  
Okay, "masterpiece" could be an over-statement, but considering that I spent no extra money and had everything here in my pantry, I feel pretty good about it.

Cook until edges start to turn white, then flip.  Place a spoonful of diced onions down the center of each breast.  Drop a spoonful of BBQ sauce on the onions.

Place a slice of cheese on each, then top with bacon.  Turn heat down to low and cover skillet with lid.  After cheese is melted, uncover and serve.
