Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 1/4 lb)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3 oz Cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon butter or margarine, melted
1/4 cup Old El Paso™ Thick 'n Chunky salsa

Steps:

  • Heat gas or charcoal grill. Between pieces of plastic wrap or waxed paper, place each chicken breast smooth side down; gently pound with flat side of meat mallet or rolling pin until about 1/4 inch thick. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Cut cheese into 4 slices, about 3x1x1/4 inch. Place 1 slice cheese in center of each chicken piece. Roll chicken around cheese, folding in sides. Brush chicken rolls with butter.
  • Place chicken rolls, seam sides down, on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook about 15 minutes, turning after 10 minutes, until juice of chicken is no longer pink in center. Serve chicken with salsa.
