Mexican-Style Chicken Kiev

Directions

1. Flatten chicken to 1/4-in. thickness. Remove seeds from the chiles and cut into 8 pieces. Cut cheese into eight 2-1/2-in. x 1/2-in. sticks. Place 1 cheese stick and 1 piece of chile in the center of each chicken breast. Fold short sides over and roll up along long sides to enclose filling (secure with toothpick if necessary).
2. In a shallow bowl, combine bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, chili powder, garlic salt, cumin and pepper. Dip chicken in butter, then roll in crumb mixture. Place, seam side down, in a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Bake, uncovered, at 400° for 25-30 minutes or until chicken juices run clear. Remove toothpicks. Serve with taco sauce if desired.
