JALAPENO ROAST CHICKEN
This is a very tasty recipe we found in the recent People Magazine, in their Cinco De Mayo recipes. My wife and I loved it, pairing it with http://www.recipezaar.com/recipe/red-potato-and-green-bean-saute-365051. On a side note, we've all but quit using salt in our cooking. The original recipe actually called for 1 tsp salt in step number 2, but we left it out.

- Pour the chicken broth and wine into the roasting pan.
- Roast the chicken for 1 hours 30 minutes (or until fully cooked), while basting with pan juices every 15-20 minutes. If the juices start to run out, add more chicken broth and wine to the pan.

Steps:
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
- Place jalapeno peppers on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave on high power until soft but still plump, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove and discard seeds. Dice peppers.
- Mix diced peppers, Monterey Jack cheese, onion, cream cheese, garlic, and cumin together in a bowl.
- Make a pocket in each chicken breast, being careful not to cut through the sides or bottom, as follows: Make a vertical slice in the top center of each breast, starting about 1/2 inch in from each edge. Starting inside the vertical slit, cut horizontally into the chicken breast in both directions; this should leave you with a nice pocket.
- Press 1/4 of the pepper-cheese mixture into each breast. Close and secure with toothpicks. Spray chicken breasts with cooking spray and season with salt.
- Place chicken on the preheated grill with toothpicks facing upwards. Grill for 12 minutes, then turn and cook until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 3 to 5 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove toothpicks before serving.
