Tex-Mex is the perfect style of cooking because it’s loaded with spices that are a mix of sweet and a little heat.This filling is made of chopped jalapeno, crispy lettuce, and cauliflower rice in lieu of white rice. Top everything off with a mix of shredded cheeses, and you have a well rounded dinner! Jessica L.
How to Make It
Step 1
Preheat an oven to 375 degrees. Spray an oven-safe baking dish with pan spray, and set this aside. On a flat surface, lay down the chicken breasts and butterfly them.
Step 2
Sprinkle the salt, pepper, cumin, onion powder, and garlic powder over the chicken breasts.
Step 3
In a bowl, combine the shredded lettuce, cauliflower rice, and jalapeno, dicing the jalapeno if needed.
Step 4
Spread the veggie filling evenly in the centers of both butterflied chicken breasts.
Step 5
Close the chicken breasts and secure them shut with toothpicks. Lay the stuffed chicken toothpick-side down in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle both cheese over the tops of the chicken.
Step 6
Cover the baking wish with foil, and bake the chicken for 30 minutes. Uncover the dish, and bake the chicken for the remaining 10 minutes.
Step 7
Serve the stuffed chicken with freshly chopped cilantro!
