With the help of some delicious Old El Paso ingredients, this recipe transforms 4 chicken breasts into a meal that’ll excite the entire family.
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.
