To Make the Hunters Chicken​

1. Wrap each chicken breast in a bacon medallion and secure it underneath with a cocktail stick
2. Place the wrapped chicken in the slow cooker
3. Pour the BBQ sauce over the chicken, stir gently to make sure it is coated
4. Turn on the slow cooker and cook for 3 hours on High/Medium OR 6 hours on Low
5. When the chicken is cooked, remove them from the slow cooker and place them in an oven proof dish.
6. Check the consistency of the sauce. If it needs thickening slightly turn up the heat on the slow cooker and allow it to simmer, with the lid off for a couple of minutes
7. Pour the sauce over the chicken and sprinkle each one with 20g/¼ cup of grated cheese, then place under a pre heated grill until the cheese starts to brown
8. Serve with anything you want, salad, rice, baked potatoes and veg
