List of Ingredients

1/2 cup chicken stock
2 jalapeno, sliced
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 chicken breast half
3 flour tortillas
1 1/2 cups crumbled soft goat cheese
1/2 cup shredded Monterey jack cheese
1 tablespoon basil, chiffonade
sour cream and cilantro for garnish


Recipe

In a blender or food processor combine first 5 ingredients and blend until smooth. In a shallow nonreactive pan pour blender mixture over chicken breast half and set aside to marinate, covered and refrigerated, 4 hours. Preheat a grill or broiler. Grill or broil chicken and onions 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until chicken is just cooked through and onions are browned. Thinly slice chicken.

Preheat oven to 400ºF and butter an 8-inch round cake pan. In pan, layer one tortilla and sprinkle with half of chicken, onion, cheeses and basil. Top with a tortilla and sprinkle with remaining filling ingredients. Top with third tortilla and brush top with butter. Bake for 15 minutes, or until lightly browned and cheeses have melted. Let rest 5 minutes before cutting into quarters. Serve garnished sour cream and cilantro. Yield: 2 to 4 servings.
