Fiesta Stuffed Chicken

We eat a lot of chicken. Chicken is very versatile. You can bread it. You can grill it. You can fry it. You can bake it. You can marinade it. You can stuff it. You get my drift. I really like stuffed chicken. It's a nice surprise when you cut into chicken and something oozes out. I really wanted Mexican when I came home tonight, but I didn't want tacos, quesadillas, or enchiladas. I decided to try something new. I stuffed a chicken breast with salsa and cream cheese. I breaded it and tossed it in the oven. It was creamy-spicy deliciousness. Very tasty and easy to whip together on a weeknight. I served it with black beans and rice.
