âI love to make this chicken dish because while it bakes, I can take a siesta before the fiesta! I dreamed it up when I was on vacation and had limited ingredients. Itâs packed with great flavor.â âMerry Graham, Newhall, California Ingredients:
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (6 ounces each) |
2 corn tortillas (6 inches), chopped |
1/2 cup (2 ounces) pepper jack cheese |
2/3 cup salsa verde, divided |
1/4 cup cornmeal |
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt |
1 tablespoon canola oil |
1/4 cup water |
4-1/2 teaspoons orange marmalade |
1/2 teaspoon chili powder |
serving: |
1 can (15 ounces) southwestern black beans, warmed |
2 tablespoons sour cream |
3 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro |
Directions:
1. Flatten chicken breasts to 1/4-in. thickness; set aside. In a small bowl, combine the tortillas, cheese and 1/3 cup salsa verde. Spoon tortilla mixture down the center of each chicken breast; roll up and secure with toothpicks.
2. Combine cornmeal and garlic salt in a shallow bowl; coat chicken with cornmeal mixture.
3. In a large skillet, brown chicken in oil. Add the water, marmalade, chili powder and remaining salsa to the pan. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and cook for 15-20 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 170°. Discard toothpicks.
4. Serve chicken with beans; top with sour cream and cilantro. Yield: 2 servings.
