Chicken Monterey
Not sure how this got its name but it does sound very good. On my to cook list for sure. Links to the shortcuts are listed in the Recipe Notes section.
Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless, pounded just a bit flat to even them out
- 8 slices bacon, chopped and fried crsipy, retain the fat
- 1 teaspoon Lawry's Seasoned Salt, OR make from a shortcut on this site
- 1 cup BBQ sauce, feel free to use more as you like, OR make from a shortcut on this site
- cheese, shredded, amount is up to you as well as taste, Cheedar would be great, I would start with 1 cup and go from there
- spring onions, chopped, white and green parts
Instructions
- Pre heat your oven to 180 C and get out a 9x13 baking dish.
- Heat a non stick pan with about 2 tablespoons of bacon fat, sprinkle the chicken with the seasoning salt and brown the breasts for about 4-5 minutes on each side.
- Place chicken in a your baking dish, top with the BBQ sauce, cheese, then bacon, cover with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 10 minutes, removed from the oven, top with the chopped spring onions and serve. Good sides would be mac & cheese and buttered long beans.
Notes
Chicken breasts will run about 60 Baht/kilo, for 4 breast I will just use 60 Baht. The cheese, if you use 1/2 block, shredded this is about 90 Baht. For 4 servings, this is about $1.10 per serving.
