This recipe is based on my adaptation of a Monterey Chicken sandwich served at a local restaurant. To make this slightly healthier, I have not served this sandwich style but with a side of fresh veggies.

1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 T your favorite barbecue rub
6 slices bacon, chopped and fried crisp
shredded Monterey jack cheese blend (or your favorite)
favorite bbq sauce or dressing for dipping chicken

Sprinkle chicken breasts with rub, ensuring they are well covered. Refrigerate several hours.

Preheat grill over medium heat.

Grill chicken til cooked through. Top with cheese and melt.

Serve chicken breast topped with bacon and your favorite side. I sauteed fresh zucchini and green beans from the garden in a little olive oil along with fresh minced garlic and a splash of white wine.

Very tasty!http://media-files.gather.com/images/d450/d844/d744/d224/d96/f3/full.jpg

LOL...skipping the bread to make this 'healthier'...with bacon and cheese. I don't need it in a sammie. I'd eat it like this. I'd probably pick at the veggies since there not soft and mushy.

LOL! The cheese is light and there really is very little bacon. And my veggies are never mushy, we can't stand them like that!

Thanks MM!

This looks so awesome! I'm starving and trying to figure out what to cook. It may be this!
☃ Aunt Shanny Jul 31, 2008, 6:58pm EDT
This one is SO easy, Adelaide!

Oh baby this looks good, even though I would have to substitute turkey bacon for the real thing. Thank you Shannon.
☃ Aunt Shanny Jul 31, 2008, 7:13pm EDT
Thanks Margaret!

TB, I've had turkey bacon recently. It tastes just as good!

Oh wow this sounds and looks soooooo good! Mmmm.

That looks really good, Shannon. At our nutrition class this week, we were given a meat thermometer as an incentive. At our cooking class next week, we get a cookbook (at the last class). Every Wednesday we have one hour of nutrition class and then one hour of cooking class. But the classes end next week.

Looks good thanks for sharing..

I don't get a cook book, I was cooking when they were having the claSS.

A dish named after my favorite city has to be good! Hope you're having a great week, Shannon.

Sounds good Janet/Lar.

So far so good, Amanda.

Thanks all!

Looks good! I had an entree named this a few weeks ago. It was a chicken breast that appeared to be baked with a layer of bacon and sauteed onions and bell peppers covered with the monterey cheese. It was very delicious. I will have to try it one day soon.
