This just sounded good to me...and it was.  Maybe it was the grapefruit margaritas...but I think it was this chicken too.

• 1 serrano pepper, chopped
• 3 oz  cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 c shredded cheddar jack

• 1 tbsp olive oil

Place chicken cutlets on a working surface and spread 1/3 of cream cheese mixture on each cutlet. Loosely roll each one, secure the ends with toothpicks to prevent the cheese from oozing out.

Dip chicken in lime-oil mixture, then in breadcrumbs and place seam side down on a baking dish. Repeat with the remaining chicken.Place in a lightly sprayed pan and bake at 425 degrees for 25 minutes or so (until the chicken is done).
