Monterey Chicken. Nom nom nom!


chicken tomato cheese bacon




















Oh, man, oh man, oh heavenly jelly beans! Tried another Pinterest recipe because Pinterest seems to make me hungry…always hungry. The recipe is originally from the All Things Simple blog by Kim McCrary. Her picture of this awesomeness is much prettier than mine…

(source)

But here’s the recipe I followed “semi-exactly.”


Monterey Chicken
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/4 c. bar-b-que sauce (I used Sonny’s brand since we were out of my fave Sweet Baby Ray’s)
1/4 c. real bacon bits
1 c. colby and jack cheese, shredded
1 14 oz. can Rotel tomatoes, drained (canned with green chilies added)
sliced green onions (did NOT use any because Mr. LCH is picky)
pepper

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Pound out chicken breasts to flatten. Season with pepper. Grill chicken until no long pink (we baked ours on a broiler pan) and place on baking sheet covered with foil (yeap, we forgot the foil). Top each chicken breast with one tablespoon bar-b-que sauce, 1/4 c. cheese, 1/4 c. tomatoes, green onions and one tablespoon of bacon bits. Place in oven and bake until cheese is melted.
I promise ya, you’ll love them! Or I hope so anyways =)

    1. Wasn't it, Jeannie! We made it the night before last again minus the bacon since we didn't realize we were out. It was still good but bacon makes everything better, lol

    1. It was sooo good. I was somewhat reluctant about putting the bbq sauce on the chicken. I didn't think it sounded good with everything else but I'm so glad it did. It just enhanced every bite =)

  7. Oh definitely! I eat anything for breakfast! There was a short time a couple of years ago that I ate baked french fries nearly every morning, lol. This morning I had a cherry ICEE from gas station down the store, lol.
