Grilled Chicken Monterey

Yield:
Makes 4 servings

Preparation Time:
25 minutes

Ingredients:

  1. 4 boneless, skinless Chicken Breasts
  2. 4 slices Jalapeno Monterey Jack cheese (or plain)
  3. 2 tablespoons olive oil
  4. 1/2 cup diced onion
  5. 6 plum tomatoes, seeded and diced (1 cup)
  6. 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
  7. 1/4 teaspoon salt
  8. 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  9. Cooked rice
Directions:

1. Preheat grill (or skillet). Place chicken between two pieces of plastic wrap and lightly pound to flatten to same thickness throughout for even cooking.

2. Brush oil over both sides of chicken; grill each side until juices run clear and not pink, about 10 minutes.

3. Place one slice cheese over each chicken breast; cook until cheese softens.

4. Heat remaining oil in medium skillet over medium heat. Cook onions, stirring until softened, two minutes. Stir in tomatoes, cilantro, salt and pepper; cook an additional minute.

5. Place chicken on serving plate; spoon tomato mixture over chicken and cheese. Serve with rice.
