Monterey Chicken and catchin up!

Hey Everybody! Long time no see huh? Well I will start my catch up posts with this yummy recipe I had mentioned a while back. I have found a few recipes like this on pinterest and you know me I always use part of one recipe with another and make it my own!
It's super yummy and a great spin on the grilled chicken breast. -Sorry the pictures are missing...I'm working on tracking them down. I think they are on my old cell phone. Ooh the world of everything digital! I will add them as soon as I find them. But in the meantime, Ya'll can be enjoying this for supper.

Ingredients

  • Boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • Moores sauce (steak marinade, worcestersire will do just fine too)
  • BBQ sauce of choice (my is always sweet baby rays...hickory or vidalia)
  • Bacon cooked cooled and crumbled
  • Shredded cheese ( I like to use sharp cheddar, or a colby jack blend) 
  • Diced red onion
  • 1 can diced fire roasted tomatoes- drained.
  • Pepper *optional additional seasonings: ( I also use my fav's: natures seasoning and a mrs. dash or two, and sometimes some garlic powder) 
Directions
  1. Pound out the chicken breasts and poke with a fork to tenderize. (this also makes lil holes for the marinade to get into)
  2. Place into a shallow dish or container and pour a little marinade over them and season with pepper and optional addition seasonings. Let soak for at least 15-20 minutes, but you can marinate longer in the fridge if you like.
  3. Fire up the grill! Place chicken on grill and cook until done. Don't forget to preheat the oven at 400ยบ
  4. Once chicken is done top with bbq sauce, bacon crumbles, cheese, onions and tomatoes.
  5. Bake for about 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.
As always I like to offer options on all my recipes...or maybe it's the fact that anytime I write a recipe down I automatically start thinking of other things...dang ADD! Anywhoo.  This recipe can also be made into a more southwest version by using rotel for the tomatoes and by seasoning the chicken with: garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, and pepper. Ok now my lil hamster is just a spinnin in his wheel 90 to nothing! I keep thinking of more and more recipes for you guys! I better get to posting before he gets pooped and all is lost! LOL Stay tuned...
