Green Chili and Cream Cheese stuffed Chicken

Well school is becoming a reality once again! Another semester begins for me on Monday and I am actually a little excited! It means that I am that much closer to being done! Plus I have some awesome professors this semester and am looking forward to almost all of my classes! We were able to have one last hurrah over new years by heading to East Zion and spending some time enjoying the snow! . . . and their was PLENTY of it! The balcony around the cabin had snow all the way up to the railings and when I hopped over the railing to jump on a snowmobile with my brother I had snow up to my armpits!!! I wish that I had taken more pictures!!! It was gorgeous!!! We had a blast! (Always do!) We saw lots of wildlife and it seemed like wild turkeys were every 2 inches!!! If you have never been to Zion National Park and the surrounding area it is beyond worth it!  LOVED IT! With the cold weather blowing over us again and the smell of snow, waiting to fall in the air I felt like pepping up our lunch today with something a little spicy! So I stuffed chicken breasts with two fave's . . . . cream cheese and chili's! It was awesome but next time I am going to pound out the chicken breasts and roll them up rather than slit and stuff them. I think I will also use either crushed corn flakes or crushed tortilla chips to roll them in next time . . . but they were still awesome!
