Cream Cheese & Herb Stuffed Chicken Breasts Ingredients:
2 boneless, skinless chicken breast (4 halves) |
4 tablespoons cream cheese, softened |
3 green onions, minced |
4 tablespoons oregano or 4 tablespoons fresh sage or 4 tablespoons fresh basil |
1/2 teaspoon black pepper |
1 teaspoon paprika |
1/3 cup flour |
2 tbs mayo |
1 tbs non fat milk |
1 teaspoon water |
1/4 cup dried breadcrumbs (like progresso) |
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese |
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder |
2 tablespoons margarine, melted |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degres F.
2. Flatten open chicken breasts; spread 1 tablespoon of cream cheese on one half of each breast (resist the temptation to use more- a little cream cheese goes a looooooong way!).
3. Evenly distribute the fresh herbs on top of that and season with pepper.
4. Fold the chicken breasts back up and press tightly, tucking in cream cheese a bit.
5. In a shallow dish, combine the 1/2 teaspoon pepper, paprika and flour.
6. In another dish, pour the mayo/milk mixture.
7. In a third dish, combine bread crumbs, garlic powder and Parmesan cheese.
8. First dip chicken breasts in flour mixture, then beaten mayo mixture, then bread crumb mixture.
9. Place chicken on a lightly greased baking sheet, drizzle about a tablespoon of melted margarine on each breast and bake, uncovered, for 30 minutes or until cooked through and tender
