Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Boneless skinless chicken breast halves | 4 |
| Salt | 1/4 tsp |
| Green chilies | 2 |
| Monterey jack pepper cheese | 4 slices |
| All-purpose flour | 1/2 cup |
| Egg | 1 |

Instructions:
-
Prepare Chicken:
- Place each chicken breast half between two pieces of heavy-duty plastic wrap.
- Flatten each breast to ¼-inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
- Sprinkle salt evenly over the flattened chicken breasts.
-
Stuff Chicken:
- Place half a green chili and 4 slices of Monterey jack pepper cheese in the center of each piece of chicken.
- Roll up the chicken lengthwise, ensuring the edges are tucked inside.
- Secure the roll with wooden toothpicks to keep the filling intact.
-
Coat Chicken:
- Dredge each stuffed chicken breast in all-purpose flour, ensuring it’s evenly coated.
- In a separate bowl, combine the egg and milk to create an egg wash.
- Dip each flour-coated chicken roll in the egg mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated.
- Roll the chicken in bread crumbs, pressing gently to adhere the crumbs to the surface.
-
Fry Chicken:
- Heat 2 inches of oil in a deep skillet or Dutch oven until it reaches 375°F (190°C).
- Carefully place the prepared chicken rolls in the hot oil, ensuring they are submerged.
- Fry the chicken for approximately 10 minutes or until golden brown, turning once halfway through to ensure even cooking.
- Once golden and crispy, remove the chicken from the oil and drain well on paper towels to remove excess oil.
-
Serve:
- Transfer the fried chicken rellenos to a serving platter.
- Serve immediately, accompanied by your favorite salsa for a burst of complementary flavors.
Enjoy your delicious Chicken Rellenos! 🍗🧀🌶️
