▪️ 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
▪️ 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
▪️ 1 cup BBQ sauce
▪️ 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
▪️ 4 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled
▪️ ¼ cup chopped green onions
▪️ Salt and pepper to taste

Step 3: In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken with ½ cup of BBQ sauce until well mixed.
Step 4: Once the fries are done, remove them from the oven. Sprinkle half of the cheese over the fries, then layer the BBQ chicken mixture on top, followed by the remaining cheese and the crumbled bacon.
Step 5: Return the loaded fries to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 6: Drizzle the remaining BBQ sauce over the top, garnish with chopped green onions, and serve immediately.

▪️ This dish can be easily customized with different toppings like jalapeños, sour cream, or guacamole for added flavor.
▪️ Iced Tea - A cold, slightly sweet beverage like iced tea complements the savory and smoky flavors, making for a refreshing drink pairing that doesn’t overpower the dish.
