MEXICAN CHICKEN KIEV
A good friend shared this recipe with me. It's a little time consuming, but a lot of the preparation can be done ahead of time -- and don't we all love that!

Steps:
- Chicken:.
- Pound each breast half to 1/4" tickness. Put 2 T. of chilies and 1 slice of cheese on each breast, leaving a slight edge. Roll up the breasts tightly and tuck in the ends. Secure with heavy thread or toothpicks.
- Combine the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, chili powder, salt, cumin and pepper. First, roll the breasts in the melted butter - then dip in the crumb mixture. Gently pat the crumbs into the breasts. Place in a baking dish AND REFRIGERATE at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Remove string or toothpicks. Bake breasts for 20 minutes or until cooked through.
- Place some of the tomato sauce on bottom of serving platter; top with chicken breasts with a little more sauce and sprinkle with about 2 T. parsley. Pass remaining sauce with chicken.
- SPICY TOMATO SAUCE:.
- Heat olive oil in large saucepan. Add garlic, onion and bell pepper. Saute util soften, about 10 minutes.
- Stir in remaining ingredients except parsley. Cover and simmer 45 minutes.
- Puree in food processor or blender. Return to saucepan and reduce if too thin. Stir in remaining parsley just before serving.
- Note: I have also baked the chicken breasts until almost done and then poured the sauce over it and continued baking until done. Also, if using as a potluck dish or on a buffet, I slice each chicken roll into 4 or 5 slices.
- PREP TIME DOES NOT INCLUDE THE REFRIGERATION TIME.

[email protected]I love that this recipe uses chicken breasts instead of the traditional chicken thighs. It made the dish a bit lighter and healthier. The chipotle cream sauce was also a great addition - it added a nice smoky flavor to the dish.
