Monterey Chicken

Step 1

Sprinkle both sides of the the chicken with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper and spread the seasoning around to coat the chicken.

Step 2

Heat a large, oven safe skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and butter and heat until butter has melted.

Step 3

Add the chicken to the pan and cook for 6 minutes per side or until chicken is cooked through.

Step 4

Brush the BBQ sauce over the top of the chicken breasts. Flip the chicken and brush the bottoms with sauce, if desired.  (You’ll need a bit more sauce than called for, but worth it if you like your chicken extra saucy.)

Step 5

Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the top of the chicken breasts.

Step 6

Place the pan in the oven under the broiler for 2-3 minutes to melt the cheese.

Step 7

Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the crumbled bacon, tomatoes, and green onion.

Step 8

Serve hot.
