Monterey Chicken Dinner

Monterey chicken, roasted broccoli and mashed potatoes! Update: it was a huge hit with the kids and hubby! Would be great on whole wheat buns for a tasty chicken sandwich.

Chili's Monterey Chicken

Ingredients:

• 4-6 chicken breasts, flattened
• 1 lb. bacon; 2-4 pieces per breast
• barbecue sauce (Baby Ray's)
• shredded cheddar (or monterey jack) cheese
• BBQ seasoning (Rudy's Rub)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350° 
2. Dice bacon and cook until done.
3. Flatten breasts and season with BBQ seasoning.
4. Prepare chicken breasts by browning each side in a saute pan until almost cooked.
5. Transfer chicken to a foil-lined sheet pan (for easy clean-up).
6. Top each with barbecue sauce, top with a good handful of bacon and shredded cheese.
7. Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or so, until the cheese is melted and chicken is cooked through.
