Ingredients

    1.5 lb boneless skinless chicken breast (6-4oz breasts)
    1/3 c cornmeal
    2 TBSP taco seasoning
    1 egg white
    1-4oz can whole green chilies, rinsed, seeded and cut in half lengthwise
    2 oz Monterey Jack cheese, cut into 6 sticks
    2 TBSP snipped fresh cilantro or parsley
    1/4 tsp black pepper
    1/4 tsp crushed red pepper

Directions

Rinse chicken, pat dry. Place each breast half between 2 pieces of plastic wrap. Pound lightly into a rectangle about 1/8 inch thick. Remove plastic wrap.

In a bowl, combine cornmeal and taco seasoning. Place egg white in another bowl; beat lightly.

For each roll, place a chili pepper half on the chicken piece. Place a cheese stick atop chili pepper near an edge. Sprinkle with some of the cilantro, black pepper and red pepper. Fold sides in; roll up jelly-roll style, starting from the edge with cheese.

Dip rolls into egg and coat with cornmeal mix. Place rolls, seams down, in a shallow baking pan. Bake uncovered in 375 degrees F oven for 25-30 minutes.
