-----------------------------------------
Chiles rellenos, a classic Mexican dish, means “stuffed peppers.” In this case, it is not the chiles which are stuffed, but tender chicken breasts. Packed with chiles and cheese and rolled in a spicy crumb crust, this would normally be a fattening treat, but we’ve lightened it into a sensible dish that anyone can enjoy without guilt.
