Monterey Chicken
So have you ever gone to Chili's...well I'm sure you have, but anyway, have you ever gone there and ordered the Monterey Chicken??? You know the yummy one with the chicken breast covered in bacon and cheese and then topped with green onions and it's served with Garlic Mashed Potatoes??? (at least mine always is lol)
Well it's my favorite Chili's dish, it's what I always have, so when I was looking through my new "Fix it and Enjoy it" cookbook and I saw the recipe, I just knew I had to try it.
Try I did, last night, and there were a few mumblings around the table, not in a bad way, because I set the chicken down and said "Don't touch it, I need to get a picture for the blog" and before I came back with the camera, the chicken was almost gone.....YEAH, it tastes JUST like Chili's and OH.MY.WORD is all I can say.
So here you go, try it, you might be lucky and have your hubby say what mine did...."Sandra, you ROCK, from now on whenever you serve chicken in this house, THIS is how I want it". LOL
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, about 1 1/2 lbs. total
1/4 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
1/3 cup bottled barbecue sauce
4-8 slices cooked bacon, according to your taste preference
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
4 scallions, trimmed and sliced
Heat oven to 350 ยบ.
Place chicken in a single layer in a greased baking dish.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Spoon on the barbecue sauce.
Bake in oven for 25 minutes, or until all pink is gone.
Top each breast half with 1 or 2 slices of cooked bacon. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese. Bake in oven 5 more minutes.
Top each breast half with fresh scallions.
Makes 4 servings

Oh wow, we've had that at Chili's and always love it. Their mashed taters are so good, aren't they?
This looks sooo good, thanks so much for posting! I have the original Fix It and Forget it, this one sounds like it has some great recipes in it too :)
I will be making this tomorrow. I have three chicken breasts thawing! Yum!
This is my favorite Chili's dish for when I'm going Low-Carb. Fabulous!
This is one of my Chili's favorites! I'm in the habit of ordering it without the barbeque sauce, but with mushrooms. Thanks for the recipe!
