Categories     Stuffed Chicken Breasts

Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 medium jalapeno peppers
½ cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
½ small onion, chopped
2 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 cloves garlic, crushed
¼ teaspoon ground cumin
4 (5 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
cooking spray
salt to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Place jalapeno peppers on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave on high power until soft but still plump, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove and discard seeds. Dice peppers.
  • Mix diced peppers, Monterey Jack cheese, onion, cream cheese, garlic, and cumin together in a bowl.
  • Make a pocket in each chicken breast, being careful not to cut through the sides or bottom, as follows: Make a vertical slice in the top center of each breast, starting about 1/2 inch in from each edge. Starting inside the vertical slit, cut horizontally into the chicken breast in both directions; this should leave you with a nice pocket.
  • Press 1/4 of the pepper-cheese mixture into each breast. Close and secure with toothpicks. Spray chicken breasts with cooking spray and season with salt.
  • Place chicken on the preheated grill with toothpicks facing upwards. Grill for 12 minutes, then turn and cook until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 3 to 5 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove toothpicks before serving.
