They actually had a stuffed chicken recipe on Rachel Ray this morning:

Salt and pepper
4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breast
6 ounces cream cheese, softened
3 tablespoons pimientos, finely chopped
1 large clove garlic, grated or finely chopped
3 teaspoons paprika, divided
1 cup breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Combine the cream cheese with pimientos, garlic and 1 teaspoon paprika, 1/3 palmful. Combine remaining 2 teaspoons paprika with breadcrumbs on a dish and place dish near stovetop. Spread 1/4 of cream cheese mix on each piece of chicken. Roll chicken up and secure with 2 toothpicks then roll each piece in breadcrumbs.

You could use reduced fat cream cheese, and eliminate the salt to save sodium, and I read on another post that cereal is better than bread crumbs because it doesn't absorb as much oil in cooking.


The full meal included some mashed sweet potatoes and green beans. Here is a link to the recipe.

I wonder if laughing cow would work here, too......

I'm a pineapple freak........would cheese and pineapples be totally gross together in something like this?

Sounds kinda gross but who cares! If you like it thats all that matters, give it a try, why not?!

I've got a great one that I do!

for 1 bonless skinless chicken breast...

3-4 tbsp frozen spinach (ring it out good to get out as much moisture as youcan)
1 oz white cheese (any kind out want) could prob sub. cottege cheese if you want
a few pine nuts (or almonds in a pinch) smash them and toss into spinach

pound out the chicken really well. This will make it extremely tender. put all ingredience onto chicken (just like you would do a buritto) and roll the chicken up. Spray chicken with fat free butter spray (or olive oil, whatever you have) and bake til done. Prob about 30-45 min at 350. (my ovens temp is off so its hard for me to tell you exactly how long!)

package of hollindaise sauce (you can get this in the same area you would buy packages of gravy mix) This sauce is extremely low in calories.
Make sauce according to directions and pour over chicken AFTER its cooked. Check the calories on it to see just how much you want to use. I usually refrigerate the remainer for other meals. It keeps pretty well for me.

Best served with some type of rice.

Enjoy!

I thought of a "hawaiian" breakfast combo i had a while back. Put a pineapple slice on an english muffin, then a slice of ham, top with a slice of cheddar cheese, broil... it was pretty good so I bet that if you stuffed the chicken with a slice or chunks of pineapple with laughing cow cheese would be yummm

pepper jack cheese in chicken is fabulous.

pound out chicken. place pepper jack on chicken and roll. secure with a thick toothpick. rub taco season on outside of chicken breast. place in pan and pour a can of enchilada sauce over it. bake until chicken is done, around 25 minutes at 350.

I LOVE ham and pineapple on pizza, so that sounds pretty good to me, actually. Maybe even throw in a slice of ham?
