4 breast half, (blank)s boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 ½ cups shredded pepper jack cheese
1 (4 oz) can dice green chile peppers, drained

HOW TO MAKE GREEN CHILI AND CHEESE CHICKEN
Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 350 degrees F or 175 degrees C.
Step 2: Using a cooking spray, grease a 9-inch square baking dish or a similar size dish.
Step 3: Into the sides of each chicken breast half, make a deep cut to form a pocket or purse. Fill the cut with 1/4 cup of cheese and a tablespoon of chilies per side. Make sure to securely close the cut using a toothpick for the cheese to not escape while cooking.
Step 4: Transfer the stuffed chicken breasts into the prepared baking dish. Then, season with Fajita seasoning and sprinkle over the rest of the cheese and chilies.
Step 5: Place inside the preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes or until the juices run clear, the cheese has melted, and lightly brown.
NOTE:
Adjust the spiciness as much as you want. Adding mild green chili will add more flavor and is more pleasant. Pretty sure your family will love it.
