Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 1h30m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 chicken breasts
7 ounces canned green chilies, whole
1/4 lb monterey jack cheese
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon lemon pepper
1/2 cup grated breadcrumbs
6 tablespoons margarine

Steps:

  • Cut chicken breasts in half; bone and remove skin. Place waxed paper over each chicken breast and flatten to about 1/4 inch thick, using a meat mallet.
  • Drain, rinse and remove seeds from the canned chiles. Cut chiles and the Jack cheese into 8 pieces. Put a piece of chili and a slice of cheese on each chicken breast. Tuck in sides and roll.
  • In a shallow bowl, combine Parmesan cheese, chili powder, garlic salt, cumin, lemon-pepper seasoning, and the dry bread crumbs. Blend well. In another shallow bowl place the melted margarine.
  • Dip each rolled chicken breast carefully into the melted margarine then into crumb-cheese mixture. Place, seam-side down, in a 9 × 13-inch baking pan; keep chicken breasts from touching. Drizzle with remaining margarine.
  • Refrigerate, covered with foil, 30-45 minutes (this is a very important step!). Bake, uncovered, in preheated 400-degree oven for 25 minutes.
