Zesty Ranchero Chicken Roll-Ups

Ingredients

  • 6 (6 oz) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

  • 6 tbsp 1/3 less fat cream cheese

  • 6 tbsp picante sauce

  • 6 cilantro sprigs

  • 6 tbsp seasoned Italian breadcrumbs

  • Fire Wrangler Zesty Ranchero seasoning (to taste)

  • Avocado oil (for coating)

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. Place each chicken breast half between two sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap or parchment paper. Gently pound the chicken to an even thickness of about ¼ inch using a meat mallet or rolling pin. Season both sides with Fire Wrangler Zesty Ranchero seasoning.

  3. Top each flattened chicken breast with 1 tablespoon of cream cheese, 1 tablespoon of picante sauce, and 1 cilantro sprig.

  4. Starting from the narrow end, roll each chicken breast tightly like a cinnamon roll. If necessary, use toothpicks to secure the rolls.

  5. Lightly coat the outside of each chicken roll-up with avocado oil, then dredge them in seasoned breadcrumbs. Place the rolls seam-side down on a baking sheet that has been lightly coated with avocado oil.

  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 160°F (70°C).

  7. Remove the chicken roll-ups from the oven, let them rest for a few minutes, then slice and serve. These flavorful roll-ups pair wonderfully with a fresh salad or your favorite side dish.
