Smothered Green Chili Pepper Chicken - cooking recipe

Ingredients

6 boneless skinless chicken breasts (4-6 oz each)
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice (about 1/2 lime)
3 tablespoons low-sodium taco seasoning
12 canned whole green chilies, drained (I used jarred Pepperoncini for mine and whole canned jalapenos for my husband)
1/2 cup shredded lowfat mozzarella cheese

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400\u00b0.
Arrange chicken in an 8-inch square baking dish; squeeze lime juice evenly over chicken.
Sprinkle evenly with taco seasoning.
Slice chiles lengthwise, cutting to, but not through, other side; open flat.
Place 2 chiles over each chicken breast. For larger breasts, use enough chilies to cover completely.
Cover dish with foil; bake at 400\u00b0 for 30 minutes.
Sprinkle cheese evenly over chiles and chicken; bake, uncovered, an additional 5 minutes or until cheese melts. If you want to brown the cheese, turn your oven to broil for the last 5-7 minutes but watch carefully because it can burn quickly.
