1
Prepare the Chicken
Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
2
Grill the Chicken
Drizzle olive oil on the grill grates or in a baking dish. Place the seasoned chicken breasts on the grill or in the oven and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through and juices run clear.
3
Add BBQ Sauce
In the last few minutes of cooking, brush the BBQ sauce generously over the chicken. Let it caramelize slightly.
4
Prepare the Toppings
While the chicken is cooking, combine the diced jalapeño and corn in a small bowl.
5
Assemble the Dish
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the grill or oven. Top each piece with the jalapeño and corn mixture, then sprinkle Monterey Jack cheese over the top.
6
Melt the Cheese
If grilling, close the lid for a minute or two to melt the cheese. If using an oven, place the chicken under the broiler for 1-2 minutes until the cheese is bubbly.
7
Serve
Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your 'The American' dish!
