I Cook - "Chili's Monterey Chicken"

I was craving for Chili's Monterey Chicken for weeks but did not get to go. So, I googled and found this recipe here.

Some of the ingredients are not found in Malaysia. So, I changed it a little based on what's available.

SERVES 2
CHICKEN

Ingredients:

1 skinless chicken breast (Pound till slightly flattened and season with salt & pepper)
2 slices of crispy bacon (Tips: Wrap bacon with paper towel & microwave it for 30 secs)
2 slices of Cheddar Cheese (My personal favourite: President Cheddar Cheese)
1/4 cup of Mozarella Chesse
1-2 tbsp BBQ Sauce (My personal favourite: MasterFoods Barbeque Sauce)
2 large tomatoes (Diced)
2 tsp of chopped chives/basil (Optional)
1 tsp of lemon juice

President Cheddar Cheese

MasterFoods BBQ Sauce

Directions:

Mix tomatoes, chives/basil with lemon juice and refrigerate.
Slightly cook chicken breast on pan for 2 minutes and transfer chicken onto oven tray.
Top chicken breast with barbeque sauce, bacon, both cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
Placed them in a preheated oven at 220° until cheese melt.
Serve with the tomatoes.

MASHED POTATOES
(Note: My all time favourite recipe made by Better Homes and Gardens Australia which can be found here.)

Ingredients:

3-4 steamed peeled potatoes (Preferably white potatoes)
2 tbsp of unsalted butter/margarine
50ml of milk OR cream
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

Mashed steam potatoes with butter till smooth (NO clumps.. i repeat NO clumps)
Pour milk or cream onto mashed potatoes and WHIPPED it to give a fluffiness mouthfeel. (The best trick ever I've learned from my Australian mate)
Sprinkled salt and pepper if desired.

ADDITIONAL
Serve with boiled vegetable such as brocolli, cabbage, carrot, cauliflower, corn etc. Sprinkle with salt and melt with a slight butter if desired.

DONE!

TADA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
