Prepare pellet grill for cooking at 325 degrees using Cherry wood pellets for fuel.

Season the chicken breast with the Grande Gringo Mexican seasoning on all sides.

Place the breasts on the pellet grill, insert a probe thermometer to monitor internal temperature.

When the internal temp reaches 155 transfer the chicken breasts to a flat iron skillet and glaze with Killer Hogs BBQ Sauce. Continue to cook the breasts until the internal reaches 165 degrees.

Top each breast with crumbled bacon, cheddar, and jack cheese. Return the skillet to the grill and cook for 3-5 minutes or until the cheese melts over the top.

Garnish the Monterey Chicken with green onions and serve.
