Description
A quick and flavorful skillet‑style chicken dish topped with barbecue sauce and melted cheese, garnished with tomato and green onion.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- ½ cup chicken stock
- 4 tablespoons barbecue sauce (use your favorite)
- 4 ounces Colby Jack cheese, shredded
- 1 tomato, diced
- 2 green onions, sliced
- Salt and pepper (optional)
Instructions
- While preparing chicken, preheat a large skillet.
- Pound chicken breasts to desired thickness. Season with salt and pepper if desired.
- Turn heat to medium high and brown chicken on both sides (2 to 3 minutes per side).
- Pour chicken broth over the chicken breasts and cover skillet with a lid. Cook until chicken is done, about 4 to 5 minutes depending on thickness.
- Turn off heat and spread barbecue sauce on top of each chicken breast.
- Divide the shredded cheese evenly among the chicken.
- Place the skillet under the broiler for 30 seconds to 1 minute — just until the cheese is fully melted.
- Top with diced tomato and sliced green onions.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- To freeze: remove tomato and green onion garnish, place in an airtight Ziploc freezer bag for up to 3 months. Defrost overnight and reheat in the oven or in a skillet.
