Monterey Chicken
Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/4 c. bar-b-que sauce ( I used Sweet Baby Ray's)
1/4 c. real bacon bits
1 c. colby and jack cheese, shredded
1 14 oz. can Rotel tomatoes, drained (I used mild for the kiddos)
sliced green onions
salt
pepper
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Pound out chicken breasts to flatten. (I cut larger breasts in half then, flattened.) Season with salt & pepper. *Saute chicken in large pan with a little oil until no longer pink (make sure your pan is nice and hot before adding the chicken to sear the juices in). Place chicken on baking sheet covered with foil. Top each chicken breast with about one tablespoon bar-b-que sauce, cheese, tomatoes, green onions and bacon bits. Place in oven and bake until cheese is melted (about 5 minutes).
*Original recipe grilled the chicken. Try it either way.
