I was in an "experimental" mood tonight and decided to try something new with chicken. Honestly you can do anything with it. This is the result of my experimentation tonight! Cole and Cambri gobbled it up. And me being pregnant and sensitive to different things, I don't eat much, but this was just right! I loved it too! Let me know what you think!
You'll Need:
-8 oz. cream cheese (no fat, cut the calories :o))
-sprinkle of parsley
-sprinkle of rubbed sage (or crushed)
-4 chicken breasts
-1/2 cup parmesan cheese
-1 tbs olive oil
-1-2 tomatoes
-8 slices cheese (I used monterey jack-just whatever you have)
-plastic bag
-skillet (one that's able to go into the oven-or just transfer chicken to a baking sheet.)
DIRECTIONS:
-First turn on your broiler
-mix softened cream cheese, sage and parsley
-Put one breast of chicken at a time in plastic bag. Seal bag. Use skillet to gently pound chicken out and flatten it to about 1/4-1/2 inch thick.
-Pour parmesan onto plate.
-Remove chicken from bag. scoop some of cream cheese onto chicken breast and roll chicken breast up.
-Secure with a toothpick if needed. Just remember to take it out after it's done cooking!
-Roll chicken in parmesan and place in the skillet with olive oil. Cook chicken breasts on one side until browned. Flip chicken and cook for a few minutes.
-Then place a couple tomato slices on top of chicken and cheese slices on top of tomatoes.
-Place skillet on shelf closest to broiler on one below that. Broil until cheese is bubbly and a little brown.
-Walah!! You're done!
**I served it with cheesy rice and salad. Yumo!!
