4 oz. Monterrey Jack cheese with jalapeno peppers

How to Prepare:
1~Preheat oven to 400. Place the chicken breast between sheets of wax paper or plastic wrap; using a mallet, pound each piece until it’s about a 1/4 inch thick. Sprinkle the chicken breast with salt.
2~Cut cheese into 4 strips. Place 1 strip of cheese in the center of each chicken breast. Fold the sides of the chicken over the cheese to enclose completely. Secure with wooden toothpicks, if necessary.
3~On two separate sheets of wax paper, place bread crumbs and 2 tbls. of flour. In a pie plate , combine eggs and milk. Coat the chicken rolls first with the flour, then with the egg mixture, then with the bread crumbs.
