Chicken Invention


Using ideas from several different recipes I came up with this tortilla encrusted stuffed chicken! I used the Guiltless Gourmet Nacho chips. These are the only nacho chips we eat now, as the regular nacho chips have 1 gram of fat per chip! I didn't do the coating with 100% chips because I ran out, so I made half of the coating using bread crumbs. Guiltless Gourmet chips are 3 grams of fat for 18 chips.




I used chicken which was skinless bone-in, but the obvious better choice would be skinless boneless. I sealed the seams with tooth picks, but I guess I you could tie up the breasts with butcher's twine.

I had left over bok choy so I used those leaves to stuff the chicken, and cooked bacon, and left over shredded cheese. Here is the recipe:

In food processor process:
2 cups nacho chips
3/4 cup bread crumbs
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
dash of Chili Powder




In a bowl mix
2 eggs
2 tbsp milk

Cut a lengthwise slit in the chicken, ensuring not the cut right through the other side and stuff with which ever ingredients you like then close the seam. Dip in the eggs/milk mixture and then dip in the dry ingredients.

Bake 350 degrees until chicken is cooked through...approx 30-40 minutes. Use a meat thermometer to ensure it is cooked throughout if you are unsure. Chicken should read 165 degrees.
