- Butterfly each chicken breast open, cover in plastic wrap and pound thin. Season both sides with salt and pepper and spread 1/4 cup refried beans over the cut side of each breast. Layer 1/3 cup cheese on top of the beans and spoon a tablespoon of the drained green chilies on top of each.
- Roll each chicken breast tightly away from you and secure with 2-3 toothpicks. Bread the prepared chicken in the taco crumbs, pressing evenly on all sides. Place chicken on a baking rack placed over a sheet pan and bake for 35 - 45 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165° F. / 74° C.

MEXICAN TACO FLAVORED STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS
Tasty taco flavored stuffed chicken breasts using ingredients readily avaliable. I serve with Knorr Taco Flavored Rice but could easily be made using white rice and adding in some taco seasoning. Added 3/1/06(Note- You don't have to use all of the mayo mixture, just enough to lightly coat each breast so the Doritos stick.)
