Time 8h30m

Yield 4 chicken breasts, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

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

Steps:

  • Mix the honey, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic and salt together and place chicken breasts in it. Add enough water to bring the marinade up to the middle of the chicken breast.
  • OR.
  • Mix together the marinade (as mentioned above) and place into a ZipLoc bag large enough for all the chicken breasts to fit inches Add water until the marinade reaches the top of the chicken breasts.
  • Marinate for as close to 8 hours as possible.
  • 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.
  • While the breasts are cooking, fry up the bacon until CRISP!
  • 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.
  • Microwave the breasts (or broil) until the cheese is melted.
  • Serve!

Tips:

  • To ensure your chicken is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C).
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also check if the chicken is cooked by cutting into the thickest part of the breast. If the juices run clear, the chicken is cooked.
  • To add a bit of extra flavor to your chicken, you can marinate it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before cooking. You can use a variety of marinades, such as olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, and spices.
  • If you're short on time, you can cook the chicken in a skillet over medium heat. This will take about 10-12 minutes per side.
  • Monterey Chicken II is a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides. Some popular options include rice, pasta, roasted vegetables, and salad.
