This Monterey Chicken recipe was inspired by one of my favorite dishes at a local restaurant. I always get it, and sometimes I even get it as a sandwich if I’m feeling really hungry! It’s super easy to make at home, and it only takes a few ingredients.

This dinner comes together with only a few ingredients too!

• thin cut chicken breasts
• sliced onions
• colby jack slices
• your favorite barbecue sauce
• creole seasoning

Here are my tips for this recipe:

1. If you can’t find thin cut chicken breasts, just butterfly your chicken breasts by slicing them in half.
2. Use your favorite barbecue sauce. We love Sweet Baby Rays!
3. You can even add some cooked bacon with the onions on top of the chicken for even more flavor.
4. This goes great with any side! I love it with green beans, but you could do salad or even fries!
5. Check out my other recipes linked below if you like this one!!
