BBQ Bacon Chicken
This is my recipe for a healthier version of a Monterey chicken, with some added onions for a vegetable. I like to think of it as a BBQ chicken pizza, minus the pizza? Basically, combine seasoned chicken, BBQ sauce, sautéed onions, bacon and shredded cheese. Those are probably my 5 favorite foods, combined in one dish!
Equipment
- Stovetop
- Oven
Ingredients
- ⅛ sweet white onion
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar replacement
- 1 chicken cutlet 4 ounces
- ½ teaspoon seasoned salt
- 2 tablespoons sugar free BBQ sauce
- 1 slice fully cooked bacon
- ⅛ cup fat-free shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Slice the onion into thin strips. Heat a pan over medium heat, greased with cooking spray. Add the onions and sauté until they are soft, it takes about 5 minutes.
- Then, add in the brown sugar and stir until all the brown sugar is melted and dissolved. Place the onions on a clean plate and set aside. (You can skip the brown sugar if you want)
- Season both side of the chicken cutlet with seasoned salt. Place on the heated pan and sear about 2 minutes per side. Then, transfer to a greased baking tray.
- Spread the BBQ sauce across the top of the chicken. Then, top with a piece of fully cooked bacon, the onions, and then the shredded cheese.
- Place the chicken in the oven and bake until the chicken is fully cooked (reaches an internal temperate of 165 degrees), the cheese is melted and the BBQ sauce is warmed, about 10 minutes.
