Chipotle Stuffed Chicken Breast Recipe 43

CHIPOTLE STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Using a sharp, thin knife, cut a parallel slit in the side of each chicken breast, forming a pocket, taking care not to cut through top or bottom of chicken. (Or, ask your meat retailer to do this for you at time of purchase.)
• Combine 1 cup cheese, pimientos and cilantro; stuff into pockets of chicken. Place chicken on a foil-lined baking sheet. Combine chili powder, cumin and garlic salt; rub mixture over both sides of chicken. Coat chicken lightly with cooking spray or brush with canola oil.
• Bake in a preheated 400°F oven 20 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Sprinkle remaining cheese over chicken. Continue baking 2 to 3 minutes or until cheese has melted.

WOAH, THAT'S A LONG NAME...STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a small bowl, combine the 4 wedges of cheese, chives, oregano, parsley, basil, and garlic (I find that using the back of a fork is easiest).
• If your cheese wedges are straight from the refrigerator, it helps to microwave them for 10 seconds or so, to soften them up, for easier mixing.
• Set the small bowl aside.
• Place a chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap on a clean, dry surface.
• Using a meat mallet, pound the chicken to about 1/4-inch thick. Repeat with the other chicken breast.
• Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, and spray it lightly with cooking spray.
• Spread half of the cheese mixture on each chicken breast, and roll them up like a crescent roll.
• Secure with two toothpicks, if necessary.
• Bake at 400 degrees F for 20-25 minutes or until chicken is cooked in the center.
• Take chicken out of the oven once it is done, remove toothpicks (if you used them), and pour 3 Tablespoons sauce or marinade over each chicken "roll" to serve.
