This was what was for dinner last week. It was absolutely delicious!

I would make it again, and soon.

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Weber's Kickin' Chicken seasoning, or your favorite blend, to taste
  • 1 (8 oz) package Monterey Jack cheese, cut into 10 slices
  • 2 tomatoes, sliced
  • 2 avocados, pitted and sliced
  1. Sprinkle chicken generously with seasoning. Refrigerate a couple of hours, if desired.
  2. Preheat grill over direct medium heat.
  3. Grill chicken 15 minutes or til chicken is cooked through.
  4. Top each breast with 1 to 2 slices of tomato and 2 to 3 slices of cheese. Close grill top until cheese is melted, about 1 minute. Add 2 to 3 slices of avocado on top of each breast, and serve immediately.

That looks really good
Robin G. Jul 28, 2011, 4:12pm UTC
Oh, I think I could go for that. Wait, but avocado is high fat.
☃ Shannon K. Wendt Jul 28, 2011, 4:30pm UTC
It's very good fat though. Go ahead and eat it.
Robin G. Jul 28, 2011, 4:43pm UTC
I'm only allowed 17 g of fat per meal and I think it's even in my little booklet that I shouldn't eat it. At least not in this stage.

12 lbs baby!
☃ Shannon K. Wendt Jul 29, 2011, 2:18pm UTC
Oh yeah, baby!
