Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 chicken breasts butterflied
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • 2 jalapeños minced
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400F and oil a baking dish.
  2. Mix the cream cheese, jalapeños, cheddar, and garlic powder.
  3. Spread the filling onto the butterflied chicken, roll up, and secure with picks.
  4. Brush with olive oil and roll in breadcrumbs to coat.
  5. Bake 22 to 25 minutes until cooked through, then slice into pinwheels.

Notes

Let the chicken rest 5 minutes before slicing so the filling stays put.
