Southwest Stuffed Chicken

By: Alcy Thorne 
"'Our daughter served this tender chicken rolls to us a long time ago, and we've enjoyed them often since then,' comments Alcy Thorne of Los Molinos, California. A zippy cheese filling gives them special flavor while a golden coating enhances their appearance."
