  • Monterey Chicken

    I had this dish Saturday night when we went out for dinner. This is my recreation recipe. Fairly easy to prepare and tastes great - plus low carb friendly.

    Ingredients:
    Chicken breasts fillets
    Bacon rashers
    Avocado, sliced
    Cheese
    herbs of choice (I use fennel seeds and rosemary)
    butter and olive oil

    You will need an ovenproof dish of appropriate size.

    Mehtod:
    Add a little olive oil to the dish, sprinkle with fennel seeds (you could use chilli or garlic here if that is to your taste, but it may overpower the chicken and avocado flavours). Lay the chicken fillets in the dish and top with a little butter. Sprinkle with rosemary. Place in a medium hot oven. Cook for about 15-20 mins.
    While it is cooking you can slice the avocado and cheese and cut the rashers to size to lay on top of the chicken.
    Remove the chicken from the oven, turn oven up to hot. Lay bacon rashers on chicken, return to oven. After 5-10 mins, when bacon is just starting to crisp, remove again and lay avocado slices then cheese slices on top. Return to oven and bake for about 5 mins or until cheese starts to brown.
    Serve and enjoy!

    Nice with green veges or a salad. At the restaurant they put a spicy tomato salsa over it, but I had it without that as I don't do spicy foods very well.

    I love your recipes and this one sounds like a winner. Also I just happen to have all the stuff in my refrig.
    By the way are you freezing down(or up depending on your point of view) there. We are suffering from a heat wave and I just thought that I might interest you in taking some of this off our hands. LOL

          Yep, it's chilly here. Of course, at our location (sub-tropics) you can't say it is ever really cold, but further south there have been some very cold snaps. The global warming phenomenom leads to greater extremes of weather, and it certainly seems to be boprne out by what is happening worldwide. Even here, the 'old' locasl are saying it has been a very cold winter.
          We've only been here 3 years. For the first 2, I laughed at winter, and ran around in T shirts. This winter I have been really cold, so either I am acclimatised, or losing the weight has made me more vulnerable, or both. I have noticed, though, that this year the 2 cats who came with us from Canberra have thicker coats for the first time since moving up north. And our older cat, Zoe, wants to get under the doona with us for the first time since moving here (she always used to ask for "the cave", as we call it, in Canberra.
