Step-by-Step Instructions
- Start by boiling 1-2 chicken breasts in salted water for about 15 minutes until fully cooked and tender. Drain the chicken and let it cool slightly before shredding it into bite-sized pieces.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream cheese, diced jalapeño, chopped chives, and kosher salt. Use a fork to mix everything together until creamy and well-blended.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and create 12 mounds of sharp cheddar cheese on the baking sheet, flattening each mound into a square shape.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the cheese for 9-12 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown and crispy.
- Once the cheese squares are cool enough to touch, gently peel them off the parchment paper and place a spoonful of the chicken filling at one edge of each square. Roll the cheese tightly around the filling.
- Arrange your taquitos on a serving platter and pair them with your favorite toppings like sour cream, salsa, or shredded lettuce.

Notes
For best results, allow cheese shells to cool slightly after baking to prevent breakage. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
