Cut any extra canned chilies into thin strips to drape over cooked chicken. Karen Callaghan shares this recipe.
How to Make It
Step 1
In a 9- by 13-inch pan, combine jelly, vinegar, mustard, and honey. Put in a 375° oven and occasionally whisk until jelly is melted and sauce blended, 5 to 10 minutes.
Step 2
Turn chicken over in jelly sauce in pan, arranging pieces side by side.
Step 3
Bake in a 375° oven for 15 minutes.
Step 4
Pull 4 chilies open on 1 side and lay flat. Put 1 chili over each chicken piece. Reserve extra chilies for other uses. Lay cheese on chili and chicken, covering evenly; baste with jelly sauce.
Step 5
Continue to bake chicken until it is no longer pink in thickest part (cut to test), 5 to 10 minutes more.
Step 6
Put chicken on plates and spoon sauce around portions. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
