Description

This California chicken recipe is simply sautéed chicken topped with tomato, Monterey jack, and a crowning glory of avocado slices. Easy and tasty.

Ingredients

1 teaspoon olive oil
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 ripe tomatoes, sliced
1 (8 ounce) package Monterey Jack cheese, cut into 10 slices
2 avocados - peeled, pitted and sliced

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2 Warm oil in a skillet and add chicken. Season with onion powder. Cook until chicken is browned and just about done, 15 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.
3 Place chicken on a cookie sheet and top each breast with 1 to 2 slices of tomato and 2 to 3 slices of cheese.
4 Place in the preheated oven until cheese melts, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven, add 2 to 3 slices of avocado on top of each breast, and serve immediately.
