Ingredients
  

For the Taquitos
  • 2 pieces Chicken breasts boiled and shredded
  • 4 ounces Cream Cheese softened
  • 1 cup Sharp Cheddar Cheese shredded
  • 1 tablespoon Minced Jalapeño adjust to taste
  • 2 tablespoons Chives chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
Optional Toppings
  • 1 cup Sour Cream for serving
  • 1 cup Salsa for serving
  • 1 cup Shredded Lettuce for serving

Equipment

  • baking sheet
  • parchment paper
  • mixing bowl

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Arrange your taquitos on a serving platter and pair them with your favorite toppings like sour cream, salsa, or shredded lettuce.
