Monterey Chicken

Step 1
Marinate the chicken: Place chicken in a nonporous glass dish or bowl. Pour teriyaki marinade over chicken and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.

Step 2
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 3
Remove chicken from the marinade and place in a 9×13-inch baking dish. Reserve 1/3 cup marinade and discard the rest.

Step 4
Bake chicken in the preheated oven until cooked through and juices run clear, 20 to 30 minutes.

Step 5
Meanwhile, place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until evenly brown. Drain and set aside.

Step 6
Melt butter in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Saut? onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms for about 3 to 5 minutes. Add reserved 1/3 cup marinade and simmer until soft. Drain and set onion mixture aside.

Step 7
Top baked chicken with bacon strips. Add onion mixture and top each breast with a slice of cheese. Bake until cheese is melted and bubbly, another 10 to 15 minutes.
