Steps:
- Preparation: -Place the chicken breasts into a medium-size bowl, and add in all of the ingredients beginning with the olive oil, up to and including the black pepper, and toss to season the meat well; marinate the chicken for at least 20 minutes, or even overnight, if preparing ahead. -Once chicken in marinated, preheat your oven to 350°, and line a baking sheet with foil and top with a wire rack. -Preheat your grill pan over medium-high heat, and drizzle in about 1-2 tablespoons of oil; once hot, add in the chicken breasts (work in a couple of batches, if necessary) and grill them for about 3 minutes per side, or just until golden on the outside (the chicken will not be cooked through at this point, which is fine.) -Once the chicken is cool enough to handle, make a pocket in the thickest part of the breast, taking care not to cut all the way through, but just creating a large enough of pocket to stuff with filling; add a generous ¼ cup of the cheese, then a couple of tablespoons each of the black beans and corn, and then a few slices of the roasted red peppers. -Use a couple of toothpicks to secure the opening, and place the stuffed breasts onto the wire rack, and place into the oven to bake for about 8-10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melty. -Top each stuffed chicken breast with some of the Pico de Gallo, plus a few cilantro leaves, if desired, and a slice/wedge of lime, for garnish.

[email protected]This recipe was a disaster! The chicken was overcooked and the cheese was rubbery. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

[email protected]The chicken was a little dry, but the flavor was good. I think I would cook it for less time next time.

[email protected]This recipe was easy to follow and the chicken turned out great. I used a different type of cheese because I didn't have pepper jack, but it was still delicious.
