One of my favourite meals is monterey chicken, a dish where pan seared chicken is smothered in BBQ sauce and topped with melted cheese, bacon and tomatoes and these ingredients work well in a sandwich! The chicken is thinly sliced and marinated in a mixture of spices before being cooked in a pan, adding teh BBQ sauce and topping with the cheese to melt. The BBQ chicken and cheese mixture is then transferred into a bun along with cooked bacon, lettuce, tomatoes and onion! These sandwiches are super easy to make and just packed with flavour!
