We are huge cheese lovers in our house. Whether it's with our eggs for breakfast, on our ham sandwiches for lunch or in a dinner recipe it's one of our main sources of dairy. I know everyone loves a traditional grilled cheese sandwich made American Singles also known as Pasteurized Process Cheese Food (PPCF) but did you know they are only required to contain 51% real cheese? Why would you want to eat cheese that's not real cheese? Sargento® Sliced Cheese is always 100% real, natural cheese and they have all your favorites. We eat enough processed foods on a weekly basis I at least feel better if I'm using real cheese in my recipes when I cook at home and it tastes better too.Mexican Chicken Roulades with Green Chilies may be simple to put together but they are loaded with flavor.

Now that we've discussed what real cheese is I'm going to show you this chicken roulade (or roll-up) recipe.

This chicken recipe took less than ten minutes to put together. I use chicken cutlets, which are thinly sliced chicken breasts so I don't have to pound them out when I'm in a hurry but if it's been a bad week go ahead and take out your frustration on a few chicken breasts with a mallet.Mexican Chicken Roulades with Green Chilies may be simple to put together but they are loaded with flavor. Stuffed and smothered with real pepper jack cheese and mild green chilies and served with and easy cilantro lime rice they will become a weeknight regular. Lay your chicken breast out and put a 1/2 slice of Sargento Pepper Jack Cheese and 1/2 of a green chili. I used canned green chilies that have already been fire roasted and peeled. Roll the chicken around the cheese and green chilies and secure with a toothpick. Lay them in a baking dish squeeze some fresh lime juice over them and sprinkle on a packet of low sodium taco seasoning. It's that easy. Just bake for 30-40 minutes.Mexican Chicken Roulades with Green Chilies may be simple to put together but they are loaded with flavor.

    I'm a faithful Sargento user. I forbid hubs from buying the cheese because he's brought home a crappy replacement brand too many times! I also love Mexican flavors, so your chicken recipe is on the menu for this weekend.
