CA Chicken

This week I made it to a new meat market and picked up some chicken and bacon. And I had some avocado and swiss cheese to use up. So I decided to make CA Chicken for dinner last night. I've been making this for a few years now. We always love it! I can't believe I haven't posted the recipe yet. I guess it's been a while since I made it last. Anyway, I don't remember where I got the recipe. But it's simple and very good! Sometimes I skip the bacon...depends what kind of mood I'm in :) And we usually don't have fresh tomotao on hand, so I just add a little salsa instead.CA Chicken

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

salt and pepper

1 small onion, sliced

2 avocados, sliced

2 tomatoes, sliced (I just used a little homemade salsa)

1 (8 oz.) pkg. monteray jack cheese, sliced (you can use whatever cheese you have on hand...I used swiss last night)

4 strips bacon

Heat oven to 350. Season chicken and wrap with bacon (I use a toothpick to hold it in place...just be sure to take it out before you eat :). Cook chicken and onion in a skillet or grill pan (be sure to give it a little time on each side so that the bacon cooks...it's hard to get all parts of the bacon cooked/crisped). Top each breast with 1-2 slices of tomato, 2-3 slices of cheese and onions (all of the toppings are to your liking and what will fit on the chicken). Put in the oven for 15-20 min. When serving add a few slices of avocado and a sprinkle of salt.
