Preparation

Step 1

Heat the oil for veggies in a pan over high heat. Cook the peppers, onion, salt and pepper until slightly caramelized.. Transfer to a bowl, add cream cheese, cheddar and pepper jack cheese stirring until evenly coated. Set aside.

In a separate bowl combine the chicken with salt, chili powder, cumin and garlic, evenly distributing the spices over the chicken.

Slice a pocket in the chicken horizontally and fill the pocket with a heaping spoonful of the veggie/cheese mixture. Press the edges of the chicken together to seal. Repeat with the rest of the chicken.

Heat the oil in a pan over a medium heat. Cook the stuffed chicken for 7-10 minutes on each side until the chicken is fully cooked.

Serve with sour cream, salsa or guacamole! A nice side of Mexican rice is good also.
