Chicken Monterrey is delicious and easy to prepare. For people who cannot or opt out of eating dairy products, they can substitute the cheese with any type of vegetarian cheese. The chicken breast in this recipe can be found precut inside of La Bonita Supermarkets as chicken milanesa, just make sure it is not breaded. The milanesa is a thin cut chicken breast and helps with cooking time.
