Mexican Chicken Kiev
"The type of salsa you use in this recipe will make all the difference if you like things mild or spicy. I love to use the green tomatillo salsa, along with some of the red to make this cheesy chicken dish look even more colorful. Garhish with lots of cilantro."

This is one of the best chicken recipes I've ever had. My wife loved it and now I am a hero in the kitchen! So filling and flavorful. Thanks for this recipe. -
Great recipe. I've made this for years! One suggestion, try using cumin powder in place of your chili powder for a different mexican twist. If you like cumin, you'll enjoy the change!

This dish tasted good and the chicken was nice and moist. The thing I didn't like about it was that the crumb coating on skinless chicken stays crumby, not crispy. I might try browning it in a pan before putting it in the oven next time. I found that it was easier to wrap the chicken around the cheese when I grated the cheese and then squeezed it back into a shape that was easy to wrap. I also put extra grated cheese on top of the salsa. Cumin was a good suggestion, but I didn't replace the chili powder with it, just threw them both in. Thanks for the recipe -
followed recipe exactly as directed except went a little heavier on the cheese, Dinner was ready but got delayed for 4 hrs. Nuked to reheat. Excellent moist chicken even after all that time. Used a medium hot salsa. Thanks for a great recipe -
great easy

<p>Life often interupts our comfortable routines in very unexpected ways and in the past three years I've certainly faced some challenges. As a health nut who ate mostly vegetarian I was beyond shocked to discover that I was diabetic. <img title=Yell src=../tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-yell.gif border=0 alt=Yell /> I shouted and rebelled and cried. But the good news is that I can control my glucose levels simply by eating very low carb. What a complete turn around it was to pass up all my high carb vegetarian foods like grains, and veggies and embrace meat! <img title=Surprised src=../tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-surprised.gif border=0 alt=Surprised /> I've adjusted to this limited diet and thanks to Zaar can eat a nice variety of healthful meals.</p>
<p> The next challenge was a freakish fall I took while in New York with my daughter that left me paralyzed and in much pain. I thank God that I am so much better today after more than two years recovery, with total mobility and just some minor pain in my arms and hands. Cooking and communicating here was not really on my priority list. But, I am back in action and ready to cook, take photos, and enjoy this wonderful community of friends.<img title=Laughing src=../tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-laughing.gif border=0 alt=Laughing /></p>
<p>My husband and I continue to enjoy our grandchildren and being closely involved with their day to day activities. I am also the proud owner of a sweet grey and white cat who came to my door as a little kitten 6 months ago.
