Monterey Jack Stuffed Chicken Breast

by cindy on October 31, 2011

This recipe comes from one of my favorite cook books Don’t Panic–More Dinner’s in the Freezer: A Second Helping of Tasty Meals You Can Make Ahead. Wow, that’s a long title. Any way I wanted to share one of the recipes I made from the book it’s called Monterey Jack Stuffed Chicken Breast.

I am a huge fan of bulk cooking. I have found that this method of cooking not only saves time on busy nights but also a lot of money. If done the right way. More on that later.

Here is the recipe. (I did change the amount of the ingredient’s listed to work for only 4 chicken breasts.)

Ingredient’s

6 boneless chicken breast
10oz Monterey Jack Cheese with jalapenos
4 eggs
1/4 cup salsa
1/4 t salt
2 cups panko breadcrumbs
2 t chili powder
2 t ground cumin
1 1/2 t garlic salt
1/2 t dried oregano

Instructions

  • Cut a horizontal slit into each chicken breast. Be careful not to cut all the way through.
  • Put a piece of cheese into each slit. (I used cheese sticks and they worked perfectly or you could slice your own cheese.)
  • You may need to use a toothpick to secure the pocket.
