Don't "diet", instead, Transform Your Life! We offer meal plans with recipes that taste GREAT! Enjoy your food, live your life, and reach your goals!
I'm
not one to choose bland food - I can eat it if I have to, but given
the choice, I'll play with the recipe until I get something with flavor. And if
it looks good, that's bonus points. I'm also not one to enjoy cooking twice for
the same meal, so creating recipes that please my family and fit with my
training diet is essential not only to my taste buds, but also to my sanity.
This Stuffed Chicken recipe hits all the notes. It's "cheesy", full of flavor,
moist, and has a crunchy coating. And it's training friendly. And my
non-training-diet-eating-family love it! (Oh - and Melanie? It's not spicy.
wink-wink.). Best of all, it's super easy to put together and pounding the
bajeebers out of the chicken breasts is highly therapeutic. ;-) Enjoy!
Roasted Red Pepper Stuffed
Chicken Breasts
by Chelle Stafford
Serves 1
Ingredients:
1 chicken breast, skinless, boneless, raw (about 6 oz)
1/2 a roasted red pepper*
2 slices Ultra Thin Provolone
2 Tbsp cream cheese
Mrs Dash Italian
1 tsp ground flax seed
Spray oil
*If you don't know how to roast a red pepper, pick up a jar of them from your
local grocer. Be sure they're packed in water (not oil).
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Spray a glass baking dish with oil.
Place trimmed chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap on a cutting
board. Using a meat mallet (or whatever is handy), flatten the breast to about
1/4 inch thick. Remove plastic.
Spread cream cheese across the inside of the breast.
Layer the two slices of ultra-thin cut provolone, then roasted red pepper.
Sprinkle with Mrs Dash Italian Blend.
Beginning at the smallest end, roll the breast up, tucking the peppers in as
needed.
Secure roll with toothpicks.
Place chicken roll on baking sheet.
Spray top of chicken with cooking oil, then sprinkle with the ground flax and
more Mrs Dash.
Bake at 375 until cooked through (about 40 minutes) or until internal cooking
thermometer shows done.
Serve.
