- Cut a horizontal opening along the front, long edge middle of each chicken breast, nearly through to the opposite side, to open like a book.
- Spread the breasts with 2 teaspoons each of tomato paste. Divide the margarita cheese mix into 4 and place it in the center of each breast.
- Close the breast over the filling, and secure the edges with a couple of toothpicks either side. Sprinkle the breasts with salt to season.
