Ingredients

Method

In small bowl, combine Cheddar cheese, cream cheese and jalapeños; set aside.

Between waxed paper, pound chicken thighs to 1/4-inch (5 mm) thickness. Drop cheese mixture by scant tablespoonful onto centre of each thigh. Roll up, tucking in sides, and secure each with 2 toothpicks. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate in airtight container for up to 24 hours.) Brush chicken all over with 1 tbsp olive oil. Add panko to small bowl; press all sides of chicken firmly into panko to coat. Place, seam side down, on parchment paper–lined rimmed baking sheet. Bake in 450F (230C) oven until golden and instant-read thermometer inserted into centre of thighs reads 160F (71C), 20 to 25 minutes.
