Skinny Cheesy BBQ Bacon Chicken

Since my husband and I have changed our eating habits (and lost a lot of weight doing so), I realized how easy it is to make our favorite recipes healthier.I know the title sounds fattening but once you read the ingredients, you'll see it's actually healthy! After 6 months of changing our lifestyle, my husband has lost 20 pounds and I have lost 25 and we still eat the food we love! This recipe was inspired by one of my favorite dishes. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!!


"Skinny" Cheesy BBQ Bacon Chicken

Ingredients:

• 4 chicken cutlets
• 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
• 4 slices of turkey bacon, chopped into bits (4-5 slices measures about to about 1/4 cup)
• 1/2 cup 2% cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup fresh tomatoes, diced
• 1 small onion, diced
• Adobo seasoning (with pepper-it's the bottle with the red cap!)

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. 

Season each chicken cutlet with Adobo on both sides. 

Spray a skillet with non-stick cooking spray and saute onions until golden brown.

Remove onions from pan and keep warm.

Cook the chicken in the skillet until no longer pink (about 7 minutes on each side).

Place chicken on baking sheet and top with 2 tablespoons of barbecue sauce, 2 tablespoons of cheese, 2 tablespoons of tomatoes, a handful of onions, and 2 tablespoons of turkey bacon bits.

Bake chicken in the oven for about 7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.

Serve with brown rice or baked potato and a green vegetable!

**As I'm sitting here typing this recipe, I thought about making it with Dijon mustard (instead of barbecue sauce) and goat cheese (instead of cheddar cheese)!!* I MIGHT have to try that one out!!! I'll let you know how it goes. Comment below if you made either recipe and let me know how it turned out. :) 

*Happy Cooking!*
