A simple, super tasty chicken entree. A co-worker gave me this recipe months ago, and when I finally made it, my husband insisted it become one of our regular dinners. Ingredients:
4 boneless chicken breasts |
4 ounces monterey jack cheese (or pepper jack) |
1 (7 ounce) can whole green chilies ( ortega ) |
1 egg |
1 tablespoon milk |
1 (8 1/2 ounce) package jiffy corn muffin mix |
salt |
pepper |
paprika or chili powder |
Directions:
1. Pound chicken breasts until they are fairly flat.
2. Cut cheese into four 1/2-inch logs, with length equal to the width of the chicken breasts.
3. Slice four chilies lengthwise, into 1/2-inch wide strips.
4. Whisk milk and egg together in a bowl.
5. Place one cheese log and one chili (sliced in strips) at the end of each chicken breast and roll them up.
6. Dip each rolled chicken breast into the egg mixture, then coat it well with the corn muffin mix.
7. Place the coated chicken breasts in a 8-inch-square glass cake pan; top with salt, pepper, paprika and/or chili powder as desired.
8. Bake for 35-45 minutes at 450 degrees, until chicken is done.
