Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts

  • 2 teaspoons oregano
  • 34 cup cornmeal
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 13 cup flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 12 cup cooking oil

Method

  • Pound chicken breasts until they are about 1/8" thick.
  • Place 1/3 cup cheese in center of chicken, then sprinkle with 1/2 tsp.
  • oregano.
  • Fold the sides over to seal in the cheese, then roll up and secure with toothpicks.
  • Combine cornmeal and chili powder in a shallow dish or plate; place the flour on another plate.
  • Beat the eggs slightly and place in another shallow dish.
  • Lightly coat the chicken rolls with flour, dip in the egg, then in the cornmeal.
  • Chill for about an hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Brown the chicken rolls in a large skillet in the cooking oil until they are a light golden brown.
  • Drain on paper towels, then place in a shallow baking dish.
  • Bake for 20 minutes or until juices run clear.
