Mexican Chicken Rolls

1/2 cup fine dry bread crumbs

1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon chili powder

1/4 teaspoon ground cumin

8 skinless boneless chicken breast halves

1 package Monterey jack cheese with peppers ( 8 oz) cut crosswise into 8 equal slices

1/3 cup butter or margarine melted

Combine first 5 ingredients in a shallow dish; set aside. Place each chicken breast between 2 sheets of wax paper; flatten to 1/4 inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin. Place a slice of cheese on each chicken breast. Roll up from short side, and secure with wooden picks. Dip chicken rolls in butter, and dredge in bread crumb mixture. Place rolls, seam side down,
on a baking sheet. Cover and freeze until firm; transfer to a large heavy-duty plastic freeze bag and return to freezer. Freeze up to 6 months.

To serve, place frozen chicken rolls in a lightly greased 11- x 7- x 1 1/2-inch baking dish; bake at 400 ° F for 30 minutes.
