Pepper Jack Stuffed Chicken Breast



Ingredients:
2 ounces pepper Jack cheese
2 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1 teaspoon Mexican or taco seasoning
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Directions:

Cut cheese into two 2-1/4-n. x 1-in. x 3/4-in. strips. Flatten chicken to 1/4-in. thickness. Place a strip of cheese down the center of each chicken breast half; fold chicken over cheese and secure with toothpicks. Rub Mexican seasoning over chicken. In a large skillet, brown chicken in oil on all sides. Transfer to a greased 8-in. square baking dish. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until chicken juices run clear. Discard toothpicks.

Yield: 4 servings / split chicken breast in half. Beth and I split 1 chicken breast, while RJ ate a whole one. At least it was better than a corn dog!
