This Low Calorie Monterey Chicken is just 364 calories and is packed with 60.1g of protein! It’s easy and yummy and can be made quick for weeknight dinners. I even used real bacon (and that is included in the calories!) but you can swap it out for turkey bacon or omit it if you prefer.

Ingredients You’ll Need:

Olive Oil Spray
⅛ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon pepper
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
¼ cup Low Calorie BBQ Sauce
¼ cup cheese I used a combo of cheddar and jack cheese
1 roma tomato chopped
1 green onion sliced
1 slice bacon cooked and crumbled

Lose Weight By Eating

This Low Calorie Monterey Chicken is just 364 calories and packed with 60.1g of protein per serving!

I supplied you with a homemade BBQ sauce, but you can absolutely use store-bought.

Special Tip: I love to serve these over a bed of baby spinach to keep the calories low and boost the nutrition. Just lay 1-2 cups of uncooked spinach on a plate and top it with the chicken. The combination is fantastic!
