Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup fat-free refried beans
1/4 cup fat-free cheddar cheese, grated
4 (21 g) wedges the laughing cow light original swiss cheese
1/2 cup fiber one all-bran cereal (original)
8 low-fat baked corn tortilla chips, crushed
1 teaspoon taco seasoning mix
2 dashes cayenne pepper (to taste)
4 skinless chicken breasts, cutlets pounded to 1/3-inch thickness
1/4 cup taco sauce
nonfat sour cream
salsa

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 180.C.
  • 2. Spray a large baking pan with nonstick spray and set aside.
  • 3. To make the filling, combine beans, shredded cheese, and cheese wedges in a bowl. Mix thoroughly and set aside.
  • 4. Using a blender or food processor, grind Fiber One cereal to a breadcrumb-like consistency. Remove blender from base, and add crushed chips, taco seasoning, and cayenne pepper. With the lid on, give it a good shake to mix. Transfer crumb mixture to a plate and set aside.
  • 5. Lay cutlets flat on a clean, dry surface. Spoon filling onto the centers of the cutlets, evenly dividing it among them. Carefully roll each cutlet up over the filling (which may ooze a little, but don't worry!) and secure with toothpicks.
  • 6. Cover each stuffed cutlet with 1 tablespoons taco sauce, using the back of the spoon or your fingers to coat. Carefully roll each cutlet in the crumb mixture, making sure to coat all sides -- use a spoon or your fingers, if needed. Gently transfer to the baking pan.
  • 7. Cover the pan with foil, and bake in the oven for 20 minutes.
  • 8. Carefully remove foil, and bake in the oven for another 15 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and outsides are crispy.

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup fat-free refried beans
4 wedges light spreadable Swiss cheese (recommended: The Laughing Cow), room temperature
1/4 cup shredded fat-free Cheddar cheese
16 low-fat baked tortilla chips
1 teaspoon dry taco seasoning mix
Four 5-ounce raw, boneless, skinless lean chicken breast cutlets, pounded to 1/3-inch thickness
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup taco sauce
Fat-free sour cream, for topping, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick spray and set aside. To make the filling: Combine beans, cheese wedges, and shredded cheese in a bowl. Mix thoroughly and set aside. Put chips in a sealable plastic bag and crush with your hands or a rolling pin. Add taco seasoning and give it a good shake to mix. Transfer crumb mixture to a plate and set aside. Place cutlets flat on a clean, dry surface, and season with salt and black pepper. Spoon filling onto the centers of the cutlets, dividing it evenly among them.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before starting, measure and prepare all ingredients. This will ensure a smooth and efficient cooking process.
  • Use a Meat Thermometer: To ensure the chicken is cooked to perfection, insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the breast. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C) before removing from the oven.
  • Season Generously: Don't be shy with the seasonings. The combination of chili powder, cumin, oregano, garlic powder, and paprika adds a delicious flavor profile to the chicken.
  • Control the Cheese Melt: If you prefer a gooey, melted cheese filling, use a cheese that melts well, such as mozzarella or cheddar. If you prefer a crispy cheese topping, use a cheese that browns well, such as Parmesan or Romano.
  • Customize Your Nachos: Feel free to add your favorite nacho toppings, such as salsa, guacamole, sour cream, diced tomatoes, or sliced jalapeños.

Conclusion:

The Nacho-rific Stuffed Chicken is a delightful and easy-to-make dish that combines the flavors of Mexican cuisine with the convenience of a one-pan meal. With its crispy chicken exterior, tender and flavorful filling, and customizable toppings, this recipe is sure to be a hit with the whole family. Serve it as a main course with a side of rice or beans, or enjoy it as a fun and satisfying snack. So, gather your ingredients, preheat your oven, and get ready to create a culinary masterpiece that will leave your taste buds dancing with joy!
