3571. BBQ CHICKEN GRILLED CHEESE on CIABATTA with HOT CANDIED BACON

1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 12 oz. Coca Cola
1 bottle barbecue sauce
1 bag angel hair slaw
1 tomato, diced
1/2 onion, diced
1 jalapeno, diced
1 cup mayonnaise
salt and pepper to taste (for the slaw)
1 cup brown sugar
3 tablespoons cayenne pepper
1 lb. bacon
16 oz. muenster cheese, sliced thin

Add the chicken, Coca Cola and barbecue sauce to a slow cooker on low. Cook for 6-8 hours, until done. (You could alternatively pour the soda and sauce over the breasts in a baking dish, cover and bake for 35-35 minutes on 375). Combine the slaw, tomato, onion, jalapeno, mayo and salt and pepper; cover and refrigerate. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Arrange bacon on a foil lined baking sheet. Combine the brown sugar and cayenne in a small bowl; sprinkle over bacon and bake for 12-15 minutes, until done and crispy. Assemble the sandwiches by cutting the ciabatta into sandwich sized pieces, then slicing in two. Pile on the BBQ chicken, cheese, slaw and bacon. Heat in a skillet over medium heat until the cheese is melted.
