SouthWestern Chicken Rolls

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 400. Place the chicken breast between sheets of wax paper or plastic wrap; using a mallat, pound each piece until it's about a 1/4 inch thick. Sprinkle the chicken breast with salt.

2. 2

   Cut cheese into 4 strips. Place 1 strip of cheese in the center of each chicken breast. Fold the sides of the chicken over the cheese to enclose completely. Secure with wooden toothpicks, if necessary.

3. 3

   On two separate sheets of wax paper, place bread crumbs and 2 tbs. of flour. In a pie plate, combine eggs and milk. Coat the chicken rolls first with the flour, then with the egg mixture, then with the bread crumbs.

4. 4

   In an oven-safe skillet, heat oil over moderate heat. Cook the chicken rolls until lightly browned on all sides, 5 minutes. Place the skillet in the oven and bake until the chicken feels firm to the touch, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the toothpicks. Serve with salsa if desired.
