Chili’s Monterey Chicken – The Process:

1. Pound chicken breasts until nearly flattened. Season with salt & pepper.
2. Grill chicken on George Foreman Grill or on your outdoor barbecue grill. (Pan frying is okay, but not ideal.)
3. While chicken is grilling, set your oven to broil.
4. When chicken is cooked through, place each breast on a seperate serving plate.
5. Top each breast with equal amounts of barbecue sauce, bacon (2 strips each), and cheese.
6. Carefully set each plate under your broiler for 3-4 minutes, or until cheese is completely melted.
7. Using an oven mit, remove each plate from the oven and sprinkle tomatoes and green onions (if desired) over the top of each chicken breast.
8. Serve with steamed or grilled veggies and mashed potatoes with pepper gravy.
9. Enjoy!
