Santa Fe Chicken Kiev

BakinBaby's Note:

Flavored with chilies, goat cheese and sour cream, delish. Another favorite from my Jr. League of Phoenix Cookbook. Anaheim chiles are the long green chilies about 6" long (sometimes with another name), if they are not available in your area, you can substitute with whole canned green chiles.

Wow! Loved these flavors. OUtstanding and unique way to cook the usually oh-so boring chicken. Lately I've been so bored with chicken but this recipe woke me up. I served it with Cinco De Mayo Corn Salad, for a really great meal! Thanks so much for sharing.
