Microwave Chicken Kiev
Jalapenos are the most popular chile peppers in the US. This is probably due to the availability and versatility of the chile. Jalapenos have a balanced combination of flavor and heat.
The demand for these have caused breeders to develop a broad range of varieties. You can now get jalapenos with various heat level and sizes. These can be used in salsas, stuffed, or eaten straight with cheeseburgers (my personal favorite).
Ingredients:
4 whole chicken breasts
1 cup cheese crackers, crushed
1 1/2 Tbsp taco seasoning mix, dry
3 Tbsp butter
3 Tbsp soft Cheddar cheese
2 tsp instant minced onion
1 tsp salt
2 Tbsp chopped jalapeno pepper (seeded and stemmed first)
Instructions:
Skin, bone, and halve chicken breasts. Pound flat. Set aside.
Combine crackers and taco seasoning. Set aside.
Mix together butter, cheese, onion, jalapeno peppers, and salt. Divide butter mixture into 8 balls. Roll chicken breasts around each butter-cheese ball. Tuck in ends and fasten with a toothpick. Dip each chicken piece in melted butter and roll in cheese-cracker/taco seasoning mix. Lay in pan and cover with wax paper. Microwave on High for 10-12 minutes.
