Green Chili and Cheese Chicken
Description
This is a super-easy weeknight recipe with Mexican flair. Server with Spanish rice, refried beans, and warm tortillas!
Ingredients
•
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
•
1 1/2 cups shredded pepperjack cheese
•
1 (4 ounce) can diced green chile peppers, drained
•
1 tablespoon dry fajita seasoning
Directions
1
Gather all ingredients.
2
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat a 9 inch square baking dish (or similar size) with cooking spray.
3
Make a deep cut into the side of each chicken breast half to form a pocket or 'purse'.
4
Stuff 1/4 cup of cheese and about 1 tablespoon of the chilies onto each one. Close, and secure with a toothpick so that the cheese does not escape while in the oven.
5
Place the stuffed chicken into the baking dish. Season with Fajita seasoning, and then sprinkle the remaining cheese and chilies over the top.
6
Bake uncovered for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until the chicken juices run clear, and cheese is melted and lightly browned.
