Provided by Amie in Arizona

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 -6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 -3 tablespoons butter
8 slices bacon, cooked (not too crisp)
1/2 cup monterey jack cheese, shredded
1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 cup barbecue sauce
1 green bell pepper, diced small
1 onion, diced small (white or red)
1 tomatoes, diced small
3/4 cup white vinegar

Steps:

  • At least one hour or even a day ahead of time, make the Salsa Topping.
  • Mix Salsa ingredients in a small bowl, chill.
  • In a 13x9" baking dish, place the chicken, (not touching) and dot with Butter.
  • Bake at 350° for 30-45 minutes, or until done.
  • While chicken is cooking fry bacon and shred the cheeses.
  • When chicken is fully cooked, remove from oven.
  • Turn oven up to 425°F (*Unless you prefer the broiler).
  • Spread the barbecue sauce on chicken, then the bacon and then add cheeses.
  • Place the baking dish, back into the hot oven* or under the broiler for a few minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly, plate and top with the chilled Salsa Topping.

Tips:

  • To ensure the chicken breast remains juicy and tender, it's crucial to not overcook it. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C) as per USDA guidelines.
  • Feel free to adjust the spice level of the dish to your preference by adding more or less chili powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper.
  • If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can add a cornstarch slurry, made by mixing equal parts cornstarch and water, to the skillet towards the end of cooking.
  • For a more flavorful dish, use chicken thighs instead of chicken breast as they tend to have a richer taste and can withstand longer cooking times.
  • To save time, pre-cook the chicken and potatoes separately before assembling the casserole. This way, you only need to bake it for a shorter duration to melt the cheese and combine the flavors.
  • Experiment with different types of cheese for the topping. Monterey Jack and Cheddar are classic choices, but you can also try mozzarella, Parmesan, or a blend of your favorites.

Conclusion:

Monterey Chicken with Potatoes is a versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a main course or as part of a buffet spread. With its combination of tender chicken, flavorful sauce, and crispy potatoes, this hearty casserole is sure to satisfy everyone at the table. Feel free to customize the recipe to suit your preferences, whether it's adjusting the spice level or experimenting with different cheese options. Serve it hot with a side of fresh vegetables or salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
