Shannon's Mexican Stuffed Chicken

Shannon made this for supper tonight - and it was DELICIOUS!!!!!!

This recipe was acquired from allrecipes.com - Bob's Mexican Stuffed Chicken

I could not get a nice shot of the chicken dish - kind of messy - BUT DELICIOUS!!!!

Ingredients

• 2 cups crushed corn flakes
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1 (1.27 ounce) packet dry fajita seasoning
• 1/4 cup chopped red bell pepper
• 1/4 cup chopped yellow bell pepper
• 1/4 cup chopped orange bell pepper
• 1/3 cup chopped fresh mushrooms (did not use)
• 1/2 medium red onion, diced
• 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - pounded thin
• 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese, divided (we used fat free cheese - cheese didn't melt, but was crispy-YUMMM)
• 1/4 cup salsa
• toothpicks

We had left over onion mixture - so I sauteed it - without oil.  It was delicious to eat as a side dish with chicken.

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
2. In a shallow bowl, mix the corn flakes, chili powder, and fajita seasoning. In a separate bowl, mix the red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, orange bell pepper, mushrooms, and onion.
3. Dredge the chicken in the corn flakes mixture to evenly coat. Sprinkle one side of each breast with 2 tablespoons Cheddar cheese, and layer with 1/4 the vegetable mixture. Top with equal amounts salsa. Carefully roll the breast halves over the filling. Seal seams with toothpicks, then dredge again in the corn flakes mixture.
4. Arrange the rolled chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Bake 30 minutes in the preheated oven. Top with remaining cheese, and continue baking 10 minutes, or until chicken juices run clear and cheese is melted.
