Chili's Restaurant Monterey Chicken


After marinating your chicken cook it however you like. I seared mine on the stove and added all the marinade to it, very flavorful this way! 

I bake my bacon on heavy tinfoil placed on a cookie sheet. Bake for 20 min turning once at 400 degrees.

Once bacon and chicken is done, layer on BBQ sauce and place a piece of bacon over it. 

Sprinkle Cheese over the bacon. Then broil or microwave so the cheese melts perfectly over the chicken. Serve and ENJOY! 



Ingredients:

Marinade
3 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
5 dashes garlic
5 dashes salt
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 cup of shredded monterey jack cheese
8 slices apple-smoked bacon
8 tablespoons barbecue sauce, of your choice


Directions:

Mix the honey, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic and salt together. Marinate the chicken in this mixture for at least 30 min. If you can do this the night before that would be great! 
To cook:.
Bake, Broil, Grill or Skillet Fry, either way works well. Chili's grills (and I prefer grilled). Choose your preferred method and cook until the breasts are done. Since I made this during the winter time I seared it on a pan, in the marinade and it was fabulous! 
While the breasts are cooking, fry up the bacon until CRISP! I bake my bacon. It's easy and less messy, place bacon on heavy duty tin foil on a baking sheet. Bake at 400 degrees for about 20 min. Turning them over once. 
When the chicken is done, top each breast with 2 tbsps of BBQ sauce, two strips of bacon and 1/4 cup of shredded cheese. Place chicken in broiler of microwave to melt the cheese on top. Enjoy!!
