Monterey Chicken

Whew! I never meant to go so long between posts.  We've been a bit busy moving our family across the country.  It's been quite the adventure.

Anyway,  I found this dish on Pinterest, and I just had to try it.  I actually made this several weeks ago, before we moved.  It reminds me of an entree from a restaurant.  It was quick, easy and really yummy.  Make this when you get into a 'What else can I do with chicken?' funk.  You won't be sorry.

Monterey Chicken
from All Things Simple

4-6 chicken breasts
1/4 cup bar-b-que sauce
1 14 oz. can Rotel tomatoes (with green chilies)
1 cup shredded colby/jack cheese
4-6 slices of cooked, crumbled bacon
sliced green onions 
pepper

For the marinade:
1/4 cup olive oil
2 T  soy sauce
2 tsp McCormick Montreal Chicken Seasoning

Pound the chicken breasts to flatten.  Marinade the chicken for 30 minutes.  Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Season the chicken with pepper and grill the chicken breasts until no longer pink.  You could also saute the chicken in olive oil if you prefer.  Place the chicken on a foil covered baking sheet. Top each chicken breast with 1 tablespoon bar-b-que sauce, 1/4 c. cheese, 1/4 c. Rotel tomatoes, green onions and crumbled bacon.  Bake in oven until cheese is melted (about 5 minutes).
