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.
3-alarm cheese? Yikes. I'm betting you like hotter stuff than I do! Otherwise sounds good! I love chicken with stuffing in it. Pounding chicken thin is a lot of work!
