Southwestern Chicken Bundles

Here's a stuffed chicken recipe that's easy enough to fix on a weeknight. Especially if said weeknight is Cinco de Mayo.

Southwestern Chicken Bundles
Serves four.

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 (5 1/4 ounce) can whole green chiles, drained
4 (1 ounce) slices Monterey Jack pepper cheese
1 large egg
2 tablespoons water
1 cup tortilla chips, crushed
Salsa

Place chicken between 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap. Flatten to 1/8 inch thickness with a meat mallet or rolling pin.

Top each chicken breast with 1 green chile and 1 cheese slice. Roll up and secure with a toothpick.

Whisk together egg and 2 tablespoons water in a shallow bowl.

Dip chicken rolls in egg mixture and dredge in the crushed chips.

Place the rolls in a lightly greased baking dish.

Bake at 375° for 30 to 35 minutes.


Let stand for 5 minutes before slicing.


Serve with salsa.
