Description

Ingredients
•
6 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
•
2 cups cooked wild rice
•
1/2 cup roasted green chili, chopped
•
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
•
1/4 cup chopped green onions
•
1 teaspoon ground cumin
•
salt to taste
•
ground black pepper to taste
•
1 cup crushed corn flakes cereal
•
1 egg, beaten
Directions
1
Mix together rice, chili, cheese, onion, and cumin.
2
Rinse chicken thoroughly, and pat dry. Cut a slit in each breast to create a pouch that is open on one side only. Stuff each chicken breast with rice filling.
3
Coat each stuffed breast with beaten egg, then coat in potato flakes and place in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4
Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 40 minutes, or until juices run clear. If the breasts dry out too quickly, cover loosely with a piece of foil.
