Pollo Relleno - Stuffed Chicken Recipe

	Sweetwords / All my dishes 1 year ago We enjoyed this recipe very much, and it was quite different from other chicken rolls, as well as easy to prepare (no chopping, no sauteeing!). I have no idea where it originally came from, but I got it from the Clarion Ledger newspaper years ago. Prep:15m Cook:30m Servings:6	Sweetwords

Ingredients

6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves (about 1-1/2 lbs)

1/3 cup cornmeal

2 tablespoons tack seasoning mix (1/2 of a pkg)

1 beaten egg

4oz can diced green chilies, drained

4oz Monterey Jack cheese, shredded, divided

2 tablespoons snipped cilantro

Black pepper

Crushed red pepper flakes or ground red pepper

8oz bottle taco sauce

Chopped tomato, opt.

Cilantro, opt.

Directions

Rinse chicken; pat dry. Place each piece between two pieces of plastic wrap. Pound chicken with a meat malletto 1/8" thickness. Remove plastic.

Heat oven to 375.

Combine cornmeal and seasoning mix in a medium plate. Place egg in a small, shallow bowl.

Spoon a few green chilies on a chicken piece and sprinkle with cilantro, black and red pepper, and cheese.

Fold in sides of chicken. Roll up. Dip roll into egg then into cornmeal mixture. Place roll, seam side down, in a shallow baking pan or casserole. Repeat to make 6 rolls.

Bake uncovered for 30 minutes or until chicken is done.

To serve, pour taco sauce on each roll, sprinkle with cheese, and garnish with tomato and cilantro.
