This is one of my weekday winners:
Stuffed 'Philly' Chicken wrapped in Bacon
4 Chicken Breasts
8 Teaspoons of Philadelphia Extra Light Soft Cheese with Garlic and Herbs
4 Bacon Rashers or 4 Slices of Parma Ham
Cut a pocket into your chicken breasts and put 2 teaspoons of the soft cheese within each pocket and spread evenly. Wrap one slice of bacon or parma ham tightly around each chicken breast (seal with a cocktail stick or skewer if necessary) and bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes. Easy peasy and super tasty.0 -
I just made this last night! It was wonderful!
Spinach stuffed chicken breast
1 (10 ounce) package fresh spinach leaves
1/2 cup sour cream ( I used fat free)
1/2 cup shredded pepperjack cheese ( I used mild cheddar)
4 cloves garlic, minced (I left this out, even though I LOVE garlic, b/c I didn't want it to be too spicy for family, I'd add it next time)
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - pounded to 1/2 inch thickness
1 pinch ground black pepper
8 slices bacon (I used turkey bacon)- I wouldn't leave this step out (I almost did), but, it really makes the flavor sooo good.
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). (I set my oven on 400)
Place spinach in a large glass bowl, and heat in the microwave for 3 minutes, stirring every minute or so, or until wilted. Stir in sour cream, pepperjack cheese, and garlic. ( I sauted mine with pam)
Lay the chicken breasts out on a clean surface, and spoon some of the spinach mixture onto each one. Roll up chicken to enclose the spinach, then wrap each chicken breast with two slices of bacon. Secure with toothpicks, and arrange in a shallow baking dish.
Bake uncovered for 35 minutes in the preheated oven, then increase heat to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C), or use the oven's broiler to cook for an additional 5 to 10 minutes to brown the bacon.

Chicken Dijon
This recipe serves: 4
Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, crushed
4 chicken breasts, boneless, skinless, (about 4 ounces each), cut into 1-inch strips

1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
Cooking Instructions
1. Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until the onion becomes tender, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute more.
2. Turn the heat up to medium-high. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and add it to the skillet. Saute the chicken until it is golden brown on all sides, about 4 minutes.
3. Quickly add the chicken broth and stir with a wooden spoon to release any caramelized bits that are stuck to the pan. Cook until the chicken broth has reduced by half. Stir in the mustard.
4. Serve with Skinny Mashed Potatoes or Rice Pilaf .
Serving Size: 1 chicken breast

I am so trying some of these recipes...the stuffed chicken sounds wonderful!!0

We put ours in the crock pot in the moring with a jar of Salsa Verde (regular salsa works too) and they shred up so easy. We use it for sandwiches, tacos or just by itself.
We kind of do the same thing but will put them in some chicken stock. Once they are cooked well and shred easily, we drain it and mix it with a small amount of bbq sauce. We then saute up some onions, using a small amount of olive oil. We put it on the Orowheat sandwich thins bread and have sandwhiches out of it.
Both are delicious.0 -

It's really good too if you dip the chicken breast in a light for FF ranch dressing before the cornflakes. Super moist and yummy!0 -
