Monterey Chicken Makeover


Monterey Chicken Makeover

I LOVE this recipe! It is so delicious! I felt like I was cheating! It tasted like something you would order at a restaurant. I will be making this often! It is a little spicy, so be sure to use MILD rotel tomatoes.
Makes 4 servings
Ingredients:
  • 4 (4 oz.) chicken breasts, pounded
  • Sea Salt & Ground Pepper to taste
  • Cooking spray
  • 4 slices cooked extra-lean turkey bacon
  • 2 cups MILD ROTEL canned tomatoes with green chilis, drained
  • 2-3 stalks green onions
  • 1/4 cup shredded colby & jack cheeses or low-fat shredded cheddar
  • 1/4 cup homemade Cleaner BBQ Sauce
Directions:
  1. Pound chicken until nearly flat. Season with Salt and Pepper. Grill until nearly done. I grill chicken on my George Foreman. I used to despise grilling chicken on it because it was always so dry, but I discovered that the secret is to pound your chicken in a ziploc bag until it is uniform in thickness and flatter than it's original thickness. Once you beat it with a rolling pin, or something to this nature it cooks up quickly and is nice and juicy.
  2. Meanwhile crisp turkey bacon either in pan or microwave. Chop into pieces.
  3. Place cooked chicken in a coated shallow cooking dish.
  4. Top with 1/4 cup homemade BBQ sauce, tomatoes, green onions, turkey bacon pieces, and sprinkle evenly with cheese.
  5. Broil until cheese is melted.
**Note! This is a little spicy! If you want something a little less “hot”, either use half the tomatoes or rinse and drain before adding.  Using mild tomatoes does help with the heat.
