Curd / Yogurt - 1/3 or 1/2 cup
Salt to taste

Ingredients for the filling
Paneer - 1/2 cup crumbled
1/2 Onion - very finely chopped

Preparation

Preparing the Marinade
Chop the onion, ginger, garlic into small pieces and grind it with the corriander leaves in a small blender or wet grinder. Add salt to taste and the yogurt and grind some more. This mixture is the marinade to be used to marinate the chicken.

Apply a little bit of oil on the chicken breast and place it either in a ziploc or between two plastic sheets. Use a meat tenderizer and beat the chicken to flatten it. Cover the flattened chicken breast with the marinade and keep it in a refrigerator for a couple of hours.

Preparing the filling
Saute the red pepper, onions and garlic in oil and add a little bit of corriander powder, turmeric powder, pepper powder and salt. Sprinkle some water and add the crumbled paneer. Let it cook for couple of minutes and dry off any excess water. You can add some chopped jalapeno peppers (probably a tsp or two) if you would like to spice it up.

Putting it all together
Preheat the oven to about 350 to 375 degrees fahrenheit. On a flat surface, place the chicken breast and spread the filling on the chicken. Roll and wrap the chicken over the filling. Finally wrap the paneer filled chicken in an aluminum foil and place it in the oven. After about 30 minutes, take the chicken wrap out and unwrap it. By this time the chicken would have cooked and firmed up ensuring that it will not break open. Put the chicken back in the oven and increase the heat to about 425 degrees. Bake for another 30 to 40 minutes until the chicken turns golden brown.

Take it out and let it cool. After it is cooled enough, slice the chicken with a sharp knife.

Enjoy as an appetizer with some spicy sauce or as is.
