Let me add just another amazing must try recipe to your list. This skillet monterey chicken. I could probably eat this every day for the rest of my life. My son said it is one of the best things he has ever eaten!

This has been a family favorite recipe on the blog here but I usually bake it. Since I am kind of anti oven in this million degree weather I decided to make it in a skillet. Everything about this meal will blow you away!

I absolutely love the soy sauce, honey and worchestershire sauce marinade and I still wanted to incorporate it in this recipe. The chicken simmers in the amazing sauce plus it is smothered in barbecue sauce, cheddar cheese, bacon and topped with green onions and chopped tomatoes. These flavors together are going to BLOW you away!

I promise this is a quick and easy meal that you will make again and again!
