Italian Stuffed Chicken by Andie Jamari
Page 121 - Neighborhood Cookbook

Ingredients:
1 4 oz chicken breast, boneless, skinless
1/4 cup Italian salad dressing, fat free
1/2 cup bread crumbs, Italian style
2 pieces mozzarella string cheese, low fat
olive oil flavored cooking spray

Directions:
Flatten chicken breast and dip into Italian salad dressing, coating thoroughly. Dredge chicken in breadcrumbs. Roll the chicken breast around one or two pieces of string cheese. Place in an ovenproof casserole dish coated with cooking spray. Drizzle olive oil over the top of the chicken. Bake in a preheated 350F degree oven for 30-40 minutes.

Contributor's Note: You can vary this recipe according to your own taste. Marinate the chicken for about an hour if you want a spicier Italian taste. Or add a slice of ham before rolling up the chicken. Add some basil pesto or red pepper spread. Or change the type of cheese. Make it your own personal creation.

I refigured the nutritional stats and came up with these, with the ingredients that I used. I used 2 pieces of string cheese per 4 oz of uncooked chicken breast.
