Servings: 4
Cost: $14.96, $3.74 per Serving
Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts
- 4 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 2 jalapeno peppers (seeded and diced)
- ¼ cup shredded cheese (plus 2 tablespoons)
- 1 cup bread crumbs (crushed crackers, chips or plain cereal)
- ½ tsp Salt
- ½ tsp pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a small bowl, stir together the softened cream cheese, diced jalapeños, and ¼ cup of the shredded cheese until well combined.
- Place one chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap. Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to pound it to about ½-inch thickness. Repeat with the remaining chicken breasts.
- Spread one-fourth of the cream cheese mixture onto the center of each chicken breast. Roll each chicken breast tightly around the filling and secure with toothpicks if needed.
- In a shallow bowl, combine the bread crumbs, salt, and pepper. Roll each stuffed chicken breast in the bread crumb mixture, pressing gently so the coating adheres.
- Place the chicken seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
- Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese over the tops of the chicken. Return the dish to the oven for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
- Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before removing any toothpicks. Serve warm and enjoy!
