1/2 tsp. chili powder
1/4 cup skim milk

Cheese Filling:
3 tbsp. margarine, softened
3 tbsp. (3/4 ounce) shredded Monterey Jack cheese with jalapeno
peppers
2 tbsp. minced fresh cilantro
1 tsp. minced onion
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
Dash of pepper
Combine cheese filling ingredients in a small
bowl and stir well. Shape mixture into a 3 x 2 inch stick. Cover

chicken. Rinse chicken with cold water and pat dry. Place chicken
pieces between two sheets of wax paper; flatten to 1/4 inch
thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin. Remove filling
stick from freezer and cut into 6 portions. Place a portion
in center of each chicken breast half. Fold long sides of chicken
over filling; fold ends over and secure with wooden picks. Combine

in skim milk and coat with bread crumb mixture. Place chicken

spray. Bake at 400 for 15 minutes; turn chicken rolls over and
bake for an additional 15 minutes or until chicken is tender.
To serve, place shredded lettuce on serving platter. Top with
chicken and garnish with tomato wedges and cilantro sprigs.
