Steps
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Sauté bell peppers and garlic in oil until soft. Place in a bowl and reserve to cool for 5 minutes.
- Add jalapeños, spices, and both kinds of cheese to the bowl. Mix well.
- Cut chicken breasts lengthwise partway through, along the thinnest part, so you can open it like a book.
- Add a big dollop of cheese batter and close with a toothpick. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Fry until golden brown, in oil or butter. Place in a baking dish.
- You can place the remaining cheese batter on top or just in the baking dish.
- Bake in the oven for 20 minutes or until the chicken breasts are thoroughly cooked. Remember to remove the toothpick before serving.
- Serve with leafy greens, a generous amount of guacamole, and sour cream.
- Guacamole
- Peel the avocados and mash with a fork, grate or chop the garlic finely, squeeze the lime, and pour in the juice.
- Add tomato, olive oil, and finely chopped cilantro. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and blend well.
