How To Make nacho chicken

  • 1

    Place cutlets flat on a clean, dry surface & season with salt & black pepper. Spoon filling onto the centers of the cutlets, dividing it evenly among them. Carefully roll each cutlet up over the filling (which may ooze a little, but don't worry!) & secure with toothpicks, if needed. Transfer to the baking sheet.
  • 5
    Cover each stuffed cutlet with 1 tbsp taco sauce, using the back of the spoon or your fingers to coat. Coat cutlets with crumb mixture.
  • 6
    Cover the baking sheet with foil & bake in the oven for 20 minutes.
  • 7
    Carefully remove foil. Bake until chicken is cooked through & outsides are crispy, about 15 additional minutes.
  • 8
    Let cool slightly & top with sour cream & salsa.
