Chicken Chiles Rellenos Style

Chicken Chiles Rellenos Style

The kids loved this one! Of course since it uses nacho chips. Simple to make and tastes great!

What you need:

6 boneless skinless chicken breasts

1 lime, juiced

2 eggs

1/2 Tbl crushed garlic

1 bag Nacho flavored Doritos,  finely crushed

1 4oz can of green chiles, diced

1 block Monterey Jack cheese, shredded

Salsa, optional

I bought the chicken breasts with the rib meat on it. Cut the rib meat off and depending on how large the breasts are slice them in halve. Use a meat tenderizer to even out all the chicken pieces including the rib meat.

In a bowl mix the egg, lime juice and garlic until frothy. Dip the chicken pieces in the egg mixture and then coat in nachos. Place chicken on a pan in the oven at 400 Degrees for about 20-25 minutes. Until chicken is no longer pink in the middle. Place chiles on the chicken, sprinkle with shredded cheese and cook another 3-5 minutes until the cheese is melted. Serve with salsa if desired.

Side Note:

If you have non chiles eaters leave it off a few pieces and just sprinkle with the cheese.

I buy the chicken with the rib meat because I can feed a bigger family by slicing the thick parts down and using the rib meat. We have less waste that way. The kids with smaller appetites eat 2-3 of the little pieces and the meat tenderizer flattens the meat enough that the big kids think they are getting gigantic pieces.I use the same trick when serving steak or ham or anything. I slice it first. There mind tells them they are getting more but I know they're not overeating.
