Monterey BBQ Chicken

4 servings

4 bacon strips
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (about 4oz each)
1 tablespoon butter
½ cup barbecue sauce
3 green onions, chopped
1 medium tomato, chopped
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
--------------------------------------
1. Cut bacon strips in half widthwise.  In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until cooked but not crisp.  Remove to paper towels to drain; keep warm.
2. Drain drippings from skillet; cook chicken in butter over medium heat for 5-6 minutes on each side.
3. Top each chicken breast with the barbecue sauce, green onions, tomato and two reserved bacon pieces; sprinkle with the cheese.  Cover and cook for 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.


Tip
When a recipe calls for green onions, its easier and faster to cut them with kitchen scissors than with a knife.
