Green Chili Cheese Chicken Roll ups

For those of you who know me, know that I LOVE fall because it is chili roasting time.  Every year my family would get a bushel of Anaheim chili peppers, have them roasted, and then freeze them for the rest of the year.  We would all sit around the table peeling chili's... it just brings back good ol' memories.

In my garden this year, I grew ALOT of peppers.  Well they were finally ready to pick and I was
so excited to roast them.  We usually just use them chopped in Mexican food dishes but this time I wanted to make something that we could eat them whole...

You can buy Anaheim chili's at the grocery store and roast them for this dish... Here's how.

Wash chilis and lay on cookie sheet.  Place in broiler (500 degrees).  After about 3-5 minuted the skins on the chili's start to bubble and almost pop.  Turn chili's over and repeat in broiler.  

After the skins have bubbled on the other side, remove from oven and place in ziploc bag for 5 minutes.  This steams them so the peels come off easy.  Remove from bag and peel off stem, seeds, and peel.  You can dice them and use in other dishes or use them whole like this.
