“This recipe has been a family favorite for many years. It’s great served with Spanish rice and refried beans. Cilantro may be added to the salsa, if desired.” —Avanell Hewitt, North Richland Hills, Texas
Ingredients:
1/4 cup chopped tomatoes
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 garlic clove, minced
1/8 teaspoon salt
dash pepper
2 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each)
1/2 to 1 teaspoon reduced-sodium taco seasoning
2 bacon strips, halved
2 slices reduced-fat provolone cheese
2 lime wedges
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine the tomato, onion, jalapeno, lime juice, garlic, salt and pepper. Chill until serving.
2. Sprinkle chicken with taco seasoning; set aside. In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove to paper towels; drain.
3. If grilling the chicken, using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack. Grill chicken, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 4-7 minutes on each side or until a meat thermometer reads 170°.
4. Top with bacon and cheese; cook 1 minute longer or until cheese is melted. Serve with salsa; squeeze lime wedges over top. Yield: 2 servings.
