Jalapeno and Cheese Stuffed Chicken

I have been wanting to experiment with stuffed chicken breasts for a while. I had some leftover cheddar cheese in the refrigerator, and was trying to figure out what else to put in them. Since I wouldn't be eating, it only had to be something my husband likes, so I decided on jalapenos. Brian loves jalapenos and all things spicy. These came out great! The chicken was moist and the filling was perfectly spicy for him. Definitely a keeper!


Jalepeno and Cheddar Stuffed Chicken Breasts

Ingredients:

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• diced jalapenos, to taste (I used about 1/3 cup)
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1/2 cup bread crumbs

Directions:

• Cut a slit in each of the chicken breasts. Stuff with cheese and jalapenos. Secure with a toothpick if needed.
• Dip the chicken breasts into beaten egg, then into breadcrumbs to coat
• Place the chicken in a baking dish and bake at 400 degrees for 20 - 25 minutes until done
