I saw this on Pinterest (an invite only site as of now. To request an invite, click here.) and just had to try it! It was so amazing! Here's the link to the original recipe at Makeaheadmealsforbusymoms.com. I changed it slightly, so feel free to try it either way!
You must marinate your chicken over night! I hate it when I read a recipe and find out that fact later on.
What you'll need:
4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
2 tablespoons McCormick's Grill Mates Montreal Chicken Seasoning
1 Teaspoon Kosher Salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4 tablespoons Caesar salad dressing
1/2 cup Monterrey Jack cheese, shredded
1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
3/4 cup cooked bacon, chopped
4 teaspoons minced chives
1 large tomato, diced
The night before, place your chicken, Montreal seasoning, salt and pepper into a large Ziploc bag. Seal the bag and shake and rub your seasoned chicken until it is well coated. Refrigerate overnight.
Cook your bacon. The best way to cook bacon (in my world) is to preheat your oven to 400 F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a cooling rack on top. Lay your bacon on this cooling rack in a single row. Bake for 22 minutes. The bacon will come out perfectly cooked and will have kept it's shape.
Once your bacon cools...chop it and set it aside.
Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil and preheat the oven to 400 F.
Take out your marinated chicken. Place your olive oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat and add your chicken. Brown the chicken evenly on both sides. (About 4 minutes per side)
Place the browned chicken onto the lined sheet pan.
Top each chicken thigh with 1 tablespoon Caesar salad dressing and equal amounts of Monterrey jack cheese, chives, cheddar cheese, and bacon.
Cook in the oven for 15 minutes.
Top each chicken thigh with equal amounts of chopped tomato.
Place back in the oven for another 5 minutes.
Serve! OMG!!! So Stinking GOOD!
Enjoy
