This was tonight's dinner along with some sauteed haricot vert with garlic
and some rice. It was fabulous. We both enjoyed it thoroughly and I will
make it again. I swear.

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
2 slices Pepper Jack cheese -- * see note
5 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tbsp dijon mustard
1/2 cup Roasted Garlic Flavored Breadcrumbs
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese -- freshly grated
chile powder -- for sprinkling
1/8 cup fresh cilantro -- chopped
1/4 cup Wondra flour
salt and black pepper
Preheat oven to 350°F. With a very sharp knife, make a pocket in each
chicken breast half, lengthwise and insert a slice of Pepper Jack.
In a 1 qt saucepan, melt 4 tbsp butter. When melted, add the dijon mustard.
Stir to combine.
In a bowl, combine the bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, cilantro and chile
powder (as much as you can take). Dust the chicken with the Wondra flour and
the dredge in butter and then into the bread crumb mixture.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the remaining butter. Brown
the chicken lightly on all sides. Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
Place in oven and bake for 20-30 minutes until no longer pink inside.
Serve with rice pilaf and sauteed green beans with garlic. Also serve with
additional hot sauce, if you prefer.

NOTES : Risa's notes:
* If you don't have Pepper Jack but have Monterey Jack Cheese, sprinkle a
bit of chile powder on the cheese and then place inside chicken. Or you can
sprinkle some chopped chiles and place them inside the chicken too.
