- Scoop some chorizo mixture and grated Monterey jack onto the cream cheese.
- Roll up the chicken breast, squeezing the ends together.
- Keep all the stuffing inside the chicken.
- Using string, tie up the chicken breast.
- Do not make it too tight or else the stuffing will squeeze out the ends.

- Sprinkle it over the chicken breast.
- Grill the chicken breast on medium high heat, turning it every 10 minutes or so.
- Youll want to grill it for about 25-30 minutes or until fully cooked.
