Chicken Stuffed with Green Chiles and Cheese

Chicken Stuffed with Green Chiles and Cheese

4 large boneless-skinless chicken breasts
1 1/2 cups grated cheddar/jack cheese or your favorite cheese
4 oz. can diced green chiles with juice We also like using jalapenos
1/4 cup light sour cream (not fat free)
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

pepper

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Spray a baking dish with nonstick spray.
Pound chicken breasts until they are very thin, about 1/4 inch. We used a hammer then a rolling pin.
In a bowl with a fork, mash together cheese, chiles with juice, and sour cream combined.
Spread 1/4 of the cheese mixture over each chicken breast, avoiding the very edges.
Roll up the chicken, starting with smallest end
Place chicken in baking dish and sprinkle parmesan cheese and pepper on top of the chicken
Bake 30 minutes
Switch to the broiler for 3-5 minutes to brown the top once the chicken is done.

When plating, top each chicken with the cheese/juices that oozed during baking. It ends up being a very yummy sauce. Enjoy!

This is a new favorite. We have made several variations with various cheeses and peppers. A really spicy one was made with 3 alarm cheese from Sams club and jalepenos.
