Ingredients
3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
3 whole canned green chiles
3 slices of Monterrey jack or pepper jack cheese
garlic powder to taste
salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste
2 teaspoons of olive oil
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Cut a long slit in the sides of the chicken, almost completely through to the other side.
Cut each slice of cheese into three long pieces and stack together.
Tuck the stacked cheese into each green chile.
Stuff the green chiles into the chicken breasts.
Close the slit with toothpicks.
In an oven proof skillet, heat the oil over medium high heat.
Place the chicken in the skillet and cook 3-4 minutes until golden brown on that side.
Flip the chicken over and place the skillet into the pre-heated oven.
Cook for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked all the way through.
Let the meat rest on the counter for 5 minutes prior to slicing.
Slice thinly and serve while it is still warm and melting with cheese. Enjoy!

💡️ Help, Cookie Policy, Privacy Policy, and Terms of Service
🙄 Help: Seriously? You don't need any help.
🌄 Why No Pictures: Well, there ARE some pictures, here and there. But to be honest, if you need pictures showing you how to stir something, you shouldn't be cooking! And really, I find them annoying when all I want to do is look at the recipe! Also, we haven't made most of these recipes. We occasionally take pictures of the finished product when we remember!
💯 Why There Are Recipe Numbers Missing: Well, it's like this. The recipe numbers are automatically generated by the database, always using a new number for a new recipe. Over the last 20 years many recipes, mostly test recipes, have been added and then deleted, leaving only their memory and their number behind. And there was also a lot of weird stuff going on in the beginning, which messed up the order. In terms of date added, the first one is #6, then #4, #9, #10, #4, #718!!!, #2, and finally #1. Just the way databases and poor programmers work!
