- 2 (4oz) can Hatch green chiles, roasted and chopped
- Salt and pepper
- 8 organic, boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a medium bowl with an electric mixer on low speed, combine the cream cheese, drained tomatoes, corn and chiles.

- Season one side of each chicken breast with salt and pepper, then flip it over and spread with 1/4 of the cream cheese filling. Roll each chicken breast up and place it seam side down in a baking dish.
- Rub a little olive oil over the top of the chicken and season with Tajin, salt and pepper.
- Cover and bake for 35 minutes. Remove the cover and bake for another 15 minutes.
