tsp
each
cumin, coriander, and ancho chilies
-
Salt and pepper
-
Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
-
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.
-
Mix the cumin, coriander and ancho chiles into a small bowl.
-
Flatten the chicken breasts out gently with a meat mallet gently, ensuring you keep full pieces of the chicken and not break holes through.
-
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.
-
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.
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!
