Monterey Chicken

Ingredients

  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 1 cup teriyaki marinade sauce
  • ½ pound bacon
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 small onion, cut into long slices
  • 1 small green bell pepper, cut into thin strips
  • 1 (8 ounce) package fresh mushrooms, coarsely chopped
  • 4 slices mozzarella cheese

Directions

  • To Marinate: Place chicken in a nonporous glass dish or bowl. Pour marinade over chicken and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate to marinate for 1 to 2 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Place chicken in a 9x13 inch baking dish and bake preheated oven for 20 to 30 minutes, or until cooked through and juices run clear. Meanwhile, place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain and set aside.
  • In same skillet, melt butter over medium high heat. Saute onion, bell pepper and mushrooms for about 3 to 5 minutes. Add remaining 1/3 cup of marinade and simmer until soft. Drain and set onion mixture aside.
  • Top baked chicken with bacon strips. Add onion mixture and top each breast with a slice of cheese. Bake for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
