Ingredients:

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • kosher salt
  • ground black pepper
  • Homemade Tomato Salsa Recipe
  • 1-2 ripe avocados, peeled, pitted and sliced
  • 4 slices pepper jack cheese (or your fave)

Instructions:

  1. Turn the oven on broil and set to high. Preheat grill or grill pan and spray with cooking spray. I like the Misto Olive Oil Sprayer. NOTE: I used a Grill Pan set to 375 degrees F.
  2. Season chicken liberally with salt and pepper. Place chicken in grill pan and let sear for 8-10 minutes. Don't move it around. You want to get a good sear, so let it do its thing for at least 8 minutes then flip chicken over and let it cook for another 8-10 minutes. Cooking times will vary according to how thick or thin your chicken is. My chicken was on the thicker side, so I cooked mine for 10 minutes on each side. If you are using especially thin chicken, then you may even have to reduce the searing time on each side so as not to overcook it. Be sure to cook chicken to at least 155 degrees F.
  3. Remove chicken from grill pan and place on a foil covered baking sheet. Top chicken with Homemade Tomato Salsa, avocado slices, and pepper jack cheese. Place the cookie sheet under the broiler until the cheese is melted and a little browned. Remember to always leave the oven door ajar when broiling and watch it closely. It can burn very quickly, and we don't want that!
