Cooking Tips

• To ensure the chicken cooks evenly, try to make the pocket for the stuffing as even as possible.
• If you prefer a spicier dish, you can add more diced jalapenos to the stuffing mixture.
• For a healthier option, you can use baked nacho chips instead of fried ones.
• If you don't have parchment paper, you can lightly grease the baking sheet to prevent sticking.
