SOUTHWEST CHICKEN TORTILLA PINWHEELS

Steps:

• Use a mixer to combine cream cheese, sour cream, diced tomatoes, garlic, and seasonings. Use a spoon to stir in cheese, green onion, olives, jalapeno (if using), and shredded chicken.
• Divide mixture between the tortillas, spreading out evenly leaving about a ½-inch border at the edge. Roll up tightly. Wrap rollups tightly in plastic wrap and transfer to the refrigerator to chill for at least an hour or until ready to serve.
• Remove from refrigerator and use a sharp knife to slice into 2-inch pieces.

SOUTHWEST CHICKEN SKILLET DINNER

Steps:

• Heat a large saute pan over medium heat. Add olive oil then the onion and peppers. Saute for 4-5 minutes, until softened. (Prep your other ingredients while that's going in the pan.) Then add the garlic and saute for another 30 seconds or so, until fragrant.
• Add the black beans, corn and chicken to the pan. Add all of the seasonings (chili powder through black pepper). Stir to combine and let everything warm through for 2-3 minutes.
• Add the lime juice and turn off the heat. You're ready to serve with your favorite toppings!

SOUTHWEST CHICKEN BUNDLES

Steps:

• Place thawed breast in plastic wrap and pound lightly to 1/4 inch thickness, until all are done. Season each with salt & pepper.
• In small bowl, combine cheeses. Divide into 6 equal portions and roll into balls. Fold one chicken breast portion around cheese ball to form bundle.
• Cut a slice of bacon in half and lay in the form of a cross. Place chicken bundle in center of cross and bring ends of bacon up to meet on top, like a package, and secure with toothpick. Repeat process with remaining chicken.
• Place bundles in 9x13-inch dish and cook uncovered at 350* for about 30 minutes. Turn oven to broil and broil bundles 3-5 minutes until bacon is browned. Remove bundles from oven and remove toothpicks.
• Mix ranch dressing and picante sauce together. Pour mixture in small bowl and place in center of serving plate and place chicken around it. Garnish with tomatoes, jalapeno peppers, or my Tabasco Guacamole.

PVW'S HEALTHIER TAKE ON CHICKEN CORDON BLEU

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Butterfly each chicken breast (cut it length wise with out cutting all the way through). Open it up and sprinkle the inside of the chicken with seasoning mix (Mrs. Dash).
• Place one slice of cheese inside each of the chicken breasts along with 1-2 slices of ham. I like to fold the cheese in half so it fits better in the chicken and is not hanging out.
• Sprinkle a little bit of the 1 teaspoon of garlic on each folded combo of ham & cheese. Then fold the chicken over to close like a packet. Secure the chicken roll closed by using a toothpick.
• Sprinkle seasoning mix on outside of chicken (I also like to sprinkle the bottom as well). Place in an oven safe dish and cover with foil.
• Bake chicken for 30-40 minutes or until fully cooked.
• To get a nice golden brown color you can remove the foil after 15-20 minutes or so. Or you can broil the tops for 3-6 minutes when chicken is fully cooked.
