Monterey Chicken

This is a dish I used to always get at restaurants.  Eventually it dawned on me that it would be easy to make at home!  I hadn't made it in a couple of years now, but it was just as delicious tonight as ever!



Ingredients:

1 lb chicken breasts - I usually get the thin sliced, but the regular were on sale so I used them and just cut them in half so I ended up with 4 pieces instead of 2
1/2 c. barbecue sauce, divided
1 green onion, green parts sliced, white part discarded
1 c. reduced fat cheese, divided (A cheddar or mexican cheese would be preferable.  I used a monterey-cheddar blend.)
4 slices bacon (I used the pre-cooked that you just zap in the microwave)

On grill, cook chicken on one side for about 3 to 4 minutes.  Flip, then pour 2 T. of barbecue sauce over cooked side of each breast.  Lay your cooked bacon over the sauce, sprinkle with the green onions and 1/4 c. each of the cheese.  Cook about another 3 minutes.  Remove from heat and allow to rest at least 5 minutes, preferably 10.

1 piece of chicken is 8 WW Points+.

Tonight it was raining, so instead of an outdoor grill, I used our George Foreman grill to cook this.  I served itwith frozen peas and a knorr pasta mix.
