Split the chicken breasts in half to create four pieces.

Pound the chicken flat to about 1/4 inch thick using a mallet and plastic wrap.

Season the chicken with seasoned salt and lemon pepper.

Place a roasted poblano pepper piece and a slice of cheese on the chicken.

Wrap the chicken around the cheese and poblano, securing with toothpicks if desired.

Dredge the wrapped chicken in all-purpose flour, then dip in beaten eggs, and coat with panko breadcrumbs.

Heat 1.5 inches of canola oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Fry the chicken for about 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Remove the chicken from the oil and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
