Open the breast up like a book and press to flatten. To pound it thin, place the chicken between 2 pieces of plastic wrap and use the flat side of a meat mallet to pound it to the desired thickness, being careful not to tear the plastic. In a blender or food processor, combine the garlic, onion, cilantro, lime juice, and peppers. Pulse for 4 or 5 seconds to blend. Sprinkle the chicken breasts lightly with salt and pepper to taste. Spread 1\/4 of the garlic mixture over one side of each piece of chicken. Roll up the chicken and secure it with twine. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the chicken and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, turning to ensure that both sides are evenly browned. Remove the twine with kitchen scissors. Sprinkle each piece of chicken with the cheese just before serving.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>3 cloves garlic 1\/2 small onion, chopped 1\/2 C. cilantro Juice of 1 lime 1 T. marinated jalape\u00c3\u00b1o chile peppers 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, butterflied and pounded to 1\/4&#8243; thick (about 1 1\/2 lb.)
