Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup Jalapeños Finely Chopped
  • 1/4 cup Monterey Jack Cheese
  • 1 tbsp Low-Fat Cream Cheese Softened
  • 1 tbsp Dry Pressed Cottage Cheese
  • 1 Egg
  • 1/4 cup Cornmeal
  • 2 Chicken Breasts (8 oz each) Trimmed
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425°F.
  • Combine jalapeños, cheese and cream cheese in a small bowl.
  • Lightly beat egg in a shallow dish.
  • Place the cornmeal in a separate shallow dish.
  • Cut a horizontal slit along the thin, long edge of the chicken breasts, nearly through to the opposite side. Place half the filling in the center and press the edges firmly together.
  • Sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper.
  • Coat the chicken in the egg, then dredge in the cornmeal.
  • Heat oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat; add the chicken and cook until lightly browned on one side, about 3 minutes.
  • Turn the chicken over and place the skillet in the oven.
  • Roast until an instant-read thermometer registers 165°F, 10 to 15 minutes.
