Preparation

  1. Preheat Oven to 350° F. / 175° C. In a food processor, pulse the taco shells into a fine crumb. Place in a shallow dish and set aside.
  2. Butterfly each chicken breast open, cover in plastic wrap and pound thin. Season both sides with salt and pepper and spread 1/4 cup refried beans over the cut side of each breast. Layer 1/3 cup cheese on top of the beans and spoon a tablespoon of the drained green chilies on top of each.
  3. Roll each chicken breast tightly away from you and secure with 2-3 toothpicks. Bread the prepared chicken in the taco crumbs, pressing evenly on all sides. Place chicken on a baking rack placed over a sheet pan and bake for 35 - 45 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165° F. / 74° C. Allow to rest 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
