Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 1/4 lb)

  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 3 oz Cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon butter or margarine, melted
  • 1/4 cup thick & chunky salsa

Steps

    Cut cheese into 4 slices, about 3x1x1/4 inch. Place 1 slice cheese in center of each chicken piece. Roll chicken around cheese, folding in sides. Brush chicken rolls with butter.

    Place chicken rolls, seam sides down, on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook about 15 minutes, turning after 10 minutes, until juice of chicken is no longer pink in center. Serve chicken with salsa.

  • Add a peppery punch to this easy chicken dish by using Monterey Jack cheese with jalapeño peppers instead of the Cheddar cheese.
