Skillet Monterey Chicken Is the Answer

Tips for Making Skillet Monterey Chicken

  • Make this even easier with precooked bacon, which is available at most grocery stores. You’ll need to use oil or no-stick cooking spray to brown the chicken.
  • If you don’t have barbecue sauce on hand, you can whip some up at home. Here’s a recipe for a classic sweet, tangy sauce.
  • You can replace the chicken breasts with meaty, lower-priced chicken thighs, but you must increase the cooking time.

What to Serve with Skillet Monterey Chicken

This dish has a slightly Southwestern flair. It will go perfectly with a side dish like this Authentic and Easy Mexican Rice.

You could also add a fresh salad like this Simple Mediterranean Avocado Salad.

For a delicious wine pairing, try a white zinfandel.
