Time 1h15m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
2 tablespoons butter
3 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese
1 (8 ounce) package taco seasoning
1/2 cup diced onion
1 (8 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chilies
2 (10 ounce) cans enchilada sauce
1/2 tablespoon chili powder
1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
8 ounces diced olives

Steps:

  • Dethaw chicken breasts if frozen. Preheat oven to 350 F and lightly spray a 13x9 pan with cooking spray or lightly coat with shortening. Place a single breast into a ziplock, do not close. Continuously beat with mallet or rolling pin evenly until chicken breast is about 1/2 inch thick. Do this with every chicken breast.
  • Melt butter, coat both sides of chicken. Shred 1 3/4 cheese and mix with the tomatoes and chilis, 1/2 pkg of taco seasoning,1/4 C onion.
  • Put 1/4 cup of mixture in each breast. Do not overfill. Rolling is easiest if mixture is compact, tuck sides while roling away from you. Place in pan, edges on bottom.
  • Bring Enchilada sauce to a boil, stirring in the chilli powder, garlic, and remaining onion. Pour hot sauce over the breasts. Top with remaining cheese, and olives. Cover with tin foil.
