This is a fantastic chicken recipe that will be made often here, YUM!!! I used 3 chicken breasts and I butterflied them instead of cutting them in half and followed the recipe as listed. I served these up with rice and it made for a tasty dinner. Thx for sharing your recipe here.

We really enjoyed the flavor of this dish...I did miss the cooking time...I think my jalapeno should have stayed in the oven longer...it wasn't very easy to roll up...I had to fold the cheese to fit the chicken...next time I might pound the chicken to flatten it a bit...I felt there wasn't enough spice mixture to cover the chicken...so I would suggest doubling the spice mixture...made for "Bill Board" tag game...
