Oh my great googly moogly! What a great idea and taste treat. The pounding took a bit to get them down to the ask for thickness and I only did two so give your self time if you'll be making all 8 breasts. I spread a light layer of sour cream on the chicken once pounded simply because it was staring at me when I opened the fridge and I thought why not? Also added a ribbon of salsa over the finished breast once it was on the plate. I couldn't keep the cheese from leaking some but it didn't lose much. This is completely scrumptious and I'm currently wondering if I couldn't make up the full recipe and freeze them prior to the baking? Served with garlic black rice and a small green salad for a perfectly lovely and delicious meal. Thanks so much for sharing this one Nancy. :D
