Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400°F. Line large, rimmed sheet pan with foil. Place wire rack on top of foil. Spray with cooking spray.
  • In medium bowl, mix pepper Jack cheese, cream cheese, chiles and 1 tablespoon of the taco seasoning mix. In thick side of each chicken breast, cut 3-inch-long pocket to within 1/4 inch of opposite side of breast. Spoon about 1/3 cup cheese mixture into pocket in each chicken breast. Secure with toothpicks.
  • In small bowl, mix remaining taco seasoning mix and the olive oil. Place chicken on rack; brush with oil mixture.
  • Roast uncovered 25 to 30 minutes or until stuffing reaches internal temperature of 160°F. Top chicken breasts with mozzarella cheese; bake 3 to 5 minutes or until cheese is melted. Top each breast with green onions and cilantro.

MEXICAN TACO FLAVORED STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS

Tasty taco flavored stuffed chicken breasts using ingredients readily avaliable. I serve with Knorr Taco Flavored Rice but could easily be made using white rice and adding in some taco seasoning. Added 3/1/06(Note- You don't have to use all of the mayo mixture, just enough to lightly coat each breast so the Doritos stick.)

Steps:

  • Pre-heat oven to 400.
  • Meanwhile, crush Doritos using rolling pin.
  • Mix the mayo and taco seasoning together in a bowl.
  • Butterfly each chicken breast almost all the way through creating a pouch for the filling.
  • Spoon some salsa into the middle of each chicken breast, generously sprinkle cheese on top of salsa and close, securing with several toothpicks.
  • Spread mayo mixture over chicken breasts (1 side at a time) and dip into cruched Doritos(or sprinkle Doritos over chicken) to coat.
  • Repeat on other side.
  • Place on a cookie sheet (I line mine with non-stick foil) and bake 20-25 minutes or until no longer pink.
  • Serve with rice & enjoy!
