Ingredients

4 Large Poblano peppers
1/4 cup Onion -- chopped
1/2 pound Medium shrimp -- lightly Cooked, peeled and chopped
1/4 cup Cilantro -- chopped
1/4 pound Monterey jack cheese Shredded
2 8 oz Chicken breasts, Halved, deboned, and pounded flat
2 teaspoons White pepper
Salt -- to taste
12 6-in long strings to tie the chicken rolls


Oil for frying


CREAMY SHRIMP SAUCE

3 Shallots, diced
1 cup White wine
1/2 cup Fish stock or chicken broth
1 pound Small shrimp
2 cups Whipping cream
3/4 pound Butter


      To roast the peppers: Place poblano peppers under the broiler and char on allsides. Put in a plastic bag and freeze 10 minutes. Remove from freezer, rub off peel, then slit to remove seeds under running water.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

      In a medium saute pan, saute onion, shrimp, and cilantro until the shrimp are almost cooked, about 5 minutes. Place in mixture in a bowl, add the cheese and set aside.

      To assemble: Lay the four prepared chicken breasts flat, skin-side down. Season with salt and white pepper. Layer each breast with one pepper and 2 to 3 tablespoons shrimp and cheese mixture over pepper. Roll each breast tightly to form a cylinder. Tie each cylinder in 3 places, both ends and in the middle.

      In a skillet, heat about 1/4-inch of oil. Lightly brown chicken breasts, one at a time, on all sides. Remove from heat, transfer to a oven-proof dish and bake for 10 minutes until golden brown.

      Remove from oven. Cut strings and slice chicken into 1-inch roulades (rounds). Drizzle a few tablespoons of Creamy Shrimp Sauce onto a plate and arrange the roulades on top of the sauce. Serve warm. Makes 4 servings.
