Cooking instruction summary:

Cut a slit into the long side of each chicken breast half, being careful not to cut all the way through, creating a pocket to hold the cheddar jalapeño filling. In a bowl, mix together the lime zest and juice, salt, pepper, sugar, and cilantro. Add the chicken to the marinade, cover, and refrigerate 1-2 hours. Preheat your grill to medium high heat (in these photos I used the T-Fal OptiGrill on the chicken setting). In a bowl, stir together the grated cheese, jalapeño, and cilantro. Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade and discard the marinade. Open the slits in the chicken and stuff each breast with the cheddar jalapeño filling. Grill the breasts until completely cooked through and until the filling is melted, about 7 minutes per side. Serve.
