Mexican Stuffed Chicken Breasts Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the canola oil (for the veggies) in a pan over high heat. Cook the peppers, onion, salt, and pepper until soft and slightly caramelized.
• Transfer the cooked veggies to a bowl. In the same bowl, mix in the cream cheese, cheddar, and pepper jack, stirring until evenly incorporated. Set aside.
• In a separate bowl, combine the chicken with the salt, chili powder, cumin, and garlic powder, evenly distributing the spices over the chicken.
• On a cutting board, slice a pocket in the chicken horizontally.
• Fill the pocket with a heaping spoonful of the veggie mixture. Press the edges of the chicken together to seal in the filling. Repeat with the remaining chicken.
• Heat the canola oil in a pan over medium heat. Cook the stuffed chicken for five minutes on each side, until cheese is melted and chicken is cooked through.
• Serve with salsa, sour cream, and guacamole!
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350*F Coat a 9x9 inch casserole dish with cooking spray and set aside. Place chicken breast between two pieces of plastic wrap. Pound with a meat tenderizer until flattened to 1/4 inch thick. Do this to all breasts. In a bowl mix 3 Tablespoons butter, pepper jack cheese, sharp cheddar cheese, green onions & green chilies. In another bowl place melted butter. In another bowl mix crushed cheese crackers and taco seasoning. Spoon cheese mixture onto each chicken breast and roll up, tucking sides in if possible. No need to secure with toothpicks. Dip rolled chicken into butter mixture then coat with cracker crumbs. Place chicken into casserole dish. Bake for 40 minutes or until digital thermostat inserted into chicken reads 165*F

Steps:

• Place toothpicks in a small bowl and cover with water; let them soak to keep them from burning while cooking.
• Mix 2 teaspoons chili powder and 2 teaspoons cumin in a shallow dish.
• Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Place chicken breast on a flat work surface. Slice horizontally through the middle. Pound each half using a kitchen mallet or rolling pin until about 1/4-inch thick.
• Sprinkle each breast half equally with remaining chili powder, remaining cumin, chipotle flakes, oregano, salt, and pepper. Place 1/2 the bell pepper, onion, and jalapeno in the center of 1 breast half. Roll the chicken from the tapered end upward and use 2 toothpicks to secure. Repeat with other breast, spices, and vegetables and secure with remaining toothpicks. Roll each roll-up in the chili-cumin mixture in the shallow dish while drizzling with olive oil until evenly covered.
• Place roll-ups in the air-fryer basket with the toothpick side facing up. Set timer for 6 minutes.
• Turn roll-ups over. Continue cooking in the air fryer until juices run clear and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 5 minutes more.
• Drizzle lime juice evenly on roll-ups before serving.

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.
