Ingredients

1-2 medium chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (Depending on how spicy you want it)
5 Tablespoons cream cheese
9 small tomatoes
1 cup sour cream
salt and pepper to taste
1 clove garlic clove
2 Tablespoons white onion
5 medium chicken breasts

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F.
In a saucepan boil the tomatoes for about 10 minutes until they are soft and their skin has torn.
Carefully peel the skins off.
Meanwhile, on your workspace, lay each chicken cutlet and spread it flat.
Place about 1 tablespoon of cream cheese in the middle of each chicken breast.
Spread it in the middle and roll up the cutlet.
Repeat this step until all 5 are done.
Sprinkle salt and pepper to taste over each one.
Heat your cast iron skillet and add a bit of oil to it. Once it is hot, sauté the chicken until it is sealed on the outside.
Repeat for each one.
Going back to the sauce, place the boiled tomatoes and the water used to boil them into a blender. Add in the chili, garlic, onion, and sour cream. Mix until the sauce is completely smooth.
Cover the chicken with the sauce and place in the oven for 30 minutes until cooked.
Remove from the oven and serve.

Notes

You can use two of the chipotle chilies if you like it spicy. If you don’t like it too hot, you can either add more sour cream to the sauce or use only one.
If you don’t have a cast-iron skillet you can make this in an oven-safe saute pan.
