Ingredients

  • 4 chicken breasts
  • 2 ripe tomatoes
  • 1 cup guacamole 1/2 cup to stuff chicken with, 1/2 cup to serve with
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 3/4 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 1/2 tsp each cumin, coriander, and ancho chilies
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
  2. Dice the tomato finely and put in a strainer, letting them strain for about 10 - 15 minutes, trying to get as much moisture out as you can.
  3. Mix the cumin, coriander and ancho chiles into a small bowl.
  4. Flatten the chicken breasts out gently with a meat mallet gently, ensuring you keep full pieces of the chicken and not break holes through.
  5. Lay out the flattened chicken breasts onto a cutting board or baking pan and season with salt and pepper and half of the mixed spices. Spread 1 - 2 Tbsp. of guacamole onto the chicken and top with diced and drained tomatoes and shredded mozzarella cheese, evenly distributed. Roll up the breasts up and pin closed with toothpicks.
  6. In a small bowl, mix the panko with the remaining spices, then pour the mixture onto a plate. Roll the stuffed chicken breasts into the panko mixture until completed covered. Place stuffed breasts into the baking dish and bake for 35 - 40 minutes until cooked through and panko is a nice golden brown.

Recipe Notes

Don't have Ancho? Use any type of chiles - Aleppo, Pasilla, or just chile powder.
Serve with fresh guacamole, salsa and sour cream.
Rice and a garden salad would go nicely with this dish as well. Enjoy!
