Ingredients

4 large boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chilies, drained
2 ounces monterey jack cheese, cut into 4 strips
1/4 cup fine dry breadcrumb
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
3 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground cumin
4 tablespoons butter or 4 tablespoons margarine, divided
1 cup picante sauce
1/2 cup cold water
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon chicken bouillon granule

Steps:

Pound chicken to 1/4-in thickness.
Put about 2 tablespoons chilies and one strip of Monterey Jack cheese on long end of each chicken breast.
Fold in sides and ends; secure with a toothpick.
In a shallow bowl, combine the crumbs, Parmesan cheese, chili powder, salt and cumin.
Dip chicken in 3 tablespoons melted butter, then roll in crumb mixture.
Place chicken rolls, seam side down, in an ungreased 11x7x2-inch baking pan.
Drizzle with remaining butter.
Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours.
Bake, uncovered at 400°F for 20-25 minutes or until chicken is tender.
Meanwhile, combine picante sauce, water, cornstarch and bouillon in a small saucepan.
Bring to a boil over medium heat, cook and stir for 1 minute.
Remove toothpicks from chicken and serve with sauce.

Tips:

For a crispy crust, make sure the chicken is completely coated in breadcrumbs before frying.
Use a shallow dish for frying to ensure even cooking.
To prevent the chicken from sticking to the pan, make sure the oil is hot enough before adding the chicken.
Do not overcrowd the pan when frying the chicken. This will cause the oil temperature to drop and the chicken will not cook evenly.
Serve the chicken with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing, honey mustard, or barbecue sauce.
