Welcome to Chef Tips UK, today we're making hunters chicken.

Butterfly the chicken breasts to make them even in thickness.

Score the bacon to prevent curling while cooking.

Preheat the oven to gas mark 7.

Heat a frying pan and add olive oil.

Season the chicken with black pepper and sea salt.

Fry the chicken breasts for about 2 minutes on each side until colored.

Add quick cook bacon to the pan and cook for about a minute on each side until crispy.

Remove the bacon and pour hot water into the pan to deglaze it, scraping up the chicken and bacon residue.

Add a generous squeeze of barbecue sauce to the pan and let it reduce for about 3 minutes until thicker.

Place the chicken breasts into the barbecue sauce and cook for about 30 seconds on each side to infuse flavor.

Spoon barbecue sauce over the bacon and chicken.

Mix together mozzarella, cheddar, and mature cheddar cheese, then generously top the chicken with the cheese mixture.

Place the chicken in the oven for about 10 minutes to finish cooking and melt the cheese.

After 10 minutes, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for about 5 to 10 minutes before slicing.

Slice into the chicken and serve.
