Cheese-Stuffed Chicken Breasts Recipe

ingredients

1/4 teaspoon chopped green onion
1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
4 whole boneless chicken breasts, pounded to 1/4-inch thickness and frozen for 15-20 minutes for ease in handling
4 slices (1 ounce size) Swiss cheese
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup seasoned fine dry bread crumbs
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 large eggs, slightly beaten
non-stick cooking spray

directions

Heat oven to 375 degrees F.

In small mixing bowl, combine green onion, parsley flakes, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Set aside.

Place one piece of cheese in center of each chicken breast. Top with one-fourth of onion mixture. Starting at narrow edge, roll each breast tightly, tucking in sides to enclose cheese and onion mixture. Dredge with flour.

In small bowl combine bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper. Dip each rolled breast in beaten egg, then in crumb mixture to coat.

Spray a 9 x 9 x 2-inch pan with cooking spray. Generously spray each of coated breasts with cooking spray and arrange in pan.

Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until golden brown.
