Bryan Dean of Chatsworth combines chicken and veggies on the grill for a quick and easy entree. He tops thinly pounded chicken breasts with strips of pepper and onions and melted cheese.

Hands on time:   Total time: 30 minutes  Serves: 4

Ingredients:

    4 chicken breasts, pounded to flatten
    1 small red or sweet onion, cut in strips
    1 bell pepper, cut in strips
    2 large slices mozzarella cheese, cut in half, or 4 small slices

Instructions:

Preheat a well-oiled grill. Lightly salt and pepper the chicken breasts. Grill the chicken 4 minutes on the first side. Turn breasts over and layer each with strips of onion and pepper. Grill 3 minutes, or until almost cooked through. Top with cheese and grill 1 minute more, or until melted.

Notes:

You can vary this recipe to suit your taste. I used colored pepper strips and red onion for added color. Other options are grilling the veggies before adding them to the chicken or using different cheeses for more flavor.
