Monterey Chicken

Even my fussy children enjoyed this Monterey Chicken.  It's quick and easy to make, it's bright, it's colourful, and best of all, it's delicious!

I served this with mashed potatoes and salad, but it could also be served with rice instead. 

Ingredients

4-6 skinless, boneless chicken breasts

1 cup barbecue sauce

6 pieces bacon, cooked to crispy

3/4 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded

3/4 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded

1-2 Roma tomatoes

2 green onions, diced

Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

1. Place chicken breasts in a baking dish.  Season with salt and pepper.
2. Place in preheated 350°F oven and bake for 40 minutes.
3. While chicken is baking, cook bacon until crispy.  Crumble and set aside.
4. Combine cheeses in a medium bowl.  Set aside.
5. Remove chicken from oven and drain off liquid.
6. Brush each chicken breast with about 2 tablespoons of barbecue sauce.
7. Top each chicken breast with a handful each of crumbled bacon and cheese.
8. Place baking dish in an oven broiler until cheese melts (1-2 minutes -- keep watch!)
9. Remove from oven, and top with tomatoes and green onions to serve.
