Monterey Chicken

   Ive been a slacker on posting new recipes. Sorry about that. Our lives have been pretty busy lately. In a good way, though. Today we signed for our new home! We are moving in this weekend, so life is about to get even more crazier :)

   I wanted to share this chicken recipe, before the holiday and moving chaos begins. This Monterey Chicken is so yummy, and it reminds me of my BFF, Teri. She used to order this whenever wed eat at Chilis restaurant, back in high school. She lives in Idaho now, and I miss her everyday. Ive known her since the 4th grade, and I know well be friends until were 90 :)  Love you Ter! ♥

  Okay, back to the recipe. This delicious chicken is topped with barbecue sauce, colby-jack cheese, bacon, tomatoes and green onion. It is heaven on earth. Make it as soon as you can. It is super duper divine!
