There's a tasty surprise tucked inside these rolled chicken breasts from field editor Anna Free of Plymouth, Ohio. The flavorful mushroom-mozzarella filling is perked up with chives and pimientos. A golden crumb topping adds a bit of crunch to the tender chicken bundles. They're sure to impress guests.
Ingredients:
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (5 ounces each)
1/2 teaspoon salt
dash pepper
2 tablespoons king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 cup reduced-fat plain yogurt
1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup canned mushroom stems and pieces
1 tablespoon diced pimientos
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
1 tablespoon minced chives
topping:
1 tablespoon reduced-fat plain yogurt
1 tablespoon dry bread crumbs
1/8 teaspoon paprika
Directions:
1. Flatten chicken to 1/8-in. thickness; sprinkle with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, combine the flour and yogurt until smooth. Stir in the cheese, mushrooms, pimientos, parsley and chives. Spread down the center of each piece of chicken. Roll up and tuck in ends; secure with toothpicks. Place seam side down in an 11-in. x 7-in. baking dish coated with cooking spray.
2. Brush yogurt over chicken. Combine bread crumbs and paprika; sprinkle over the top. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until chicken juices run clear. Discard toothpicks before serving. Yield: 4 servings.
