This Mexican Stuffed Chicken is Utterly Delightful

Ingredients:

Chicken breast - 4 (butterflied and pounded thin)

Old El Paso Nacho cheese-flavored taco shells - a 5.4 oz. package

Old El Paso refried beans - 1 cup

Pepper jack cheese - 1 1/3 cup (shredded)

Old El Paso chopped green chilies - a 4.5 oz. can (well drained and chopped)

Salt and Pepper - by taste

Method of Preparation:

Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a food processor, pulse the taco shells into a fine crumb. Place into a shallow dish and set aside.
Butterfly each chicken breast open, cover in plastic wrap and pound thin. Season both sides with salt and pepper, and spread ¼ cup refried beans over the cut side of each breast. Place 1/3 cup cheese on top of the beans and spoon a tablespoon of the drained green chilies on top of each.
Roll each breast tightly away from you, and secure with 2-3 toothpicks. Bread the prepared chicken in the taco crumbs, pressing evenly on all sides.
Place the chicken on a baking rack placed over a sheet pan, and bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165F. Allow to rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
