Monterrey Chicken

Again, this post has no pictures.  I am just simply trying to get some of our favorite recipes from the past couple months typed up and recorded.  I am SO far behind.

This chicken dish is so easy and simple.  You will see in the steps that you are supposed to bake it for a few minutes to melt the cheese.  I simply did this all outside on the BBQ grill.  I am one of those people that has no problem throwing cake pans or cookie sheets onto the grill if it means that I do not have to turn my oven on in the summer.  THAT being said, this meal was AWESOME for us!

Here is what you need:
Chicken Breasts (I did three...one for each of us)
1/4 Cup BBQ Sauce
1/4 Cup Real Bacon Bits
1 Cup Shredded Cheese
1-14 oz Can of Rotel tomatoes with Green Chilies

1) Preheat oven to 400.
2) Grill chicken until no pink.  Place on a cookie sheet.  Top each chicken breast with BBQ sauce, cheese, tomatoes, and bacon bits.
3) Bake about 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.

Enjoy! Simple as that! :D

Grilled Asparagus Medley

Summer time is finally here in Idaho. With summer, I LOVE foods that I can cook in a fire pit or BBQ grill. This is a wonderful, meatless, vegetable dish. We served it as a side dish with our steaks last night.

Here is what you need:
1 lb fresh asparagus, trimmed
1 each red, yellow, green pepper sliced (I used half of each since we are a small family)
1 Cup fresh sliced mushrooms
1 medium tomato, chopped
1 medium onion, sliced
1 Can sliced olives, drained
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 tsp parsley (I used more)
salt and pepper
lemon pepper
dill weed (I omitted, I didn't have it)

1) Combine all veggies in a disposable foil pan. Drizzle with olive oil. Add parsley, salt, pepper, lemon pepper, and other seasonings. Toss to coat and mix.
2) Cover and cook over medium heat on your grill, stirring occasionally, until veggies are done.
Enjoy!

NOTE: This is a recipe that you can easily add other veggies you like and omit the ones that you don't like. Same with seasonings.
