Pound chicken to 1/4” thickness; sprinkle with salt, 1/4 tsp basil (I didn't really measure), and crushed red pepper, and garlic powder. Sprinkle each breast with 1 Tbsp. minced bell pepper.


Place 1 cheese stick lengthwise down the center; roll up jelly roll fashion. Brush rolls evenly with Italian dressing. Combine paprika and breadcrumbs, and a dash of oregano and basil; dredge chicken breasts rolls in mixture, turn to coat.


Place on a baking sheet coated with non-stick cooking spray – seam side down. Lightly coat with non-stick spray; sprinkle with remaining basil.


Bake at 400 for 15 minutes or until done (mine took about 22 minutes). Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

Made this dish for dinner, except sprayed the breast with low fat butter. It was excellent. Even my picky husband ate it and requested it again.

i ruin EVERY meal i make so my boyfriend does all the cooking in our house, but he let me try this chicken dish, and I pulled it off! It was really good, the only thing i recomend is putting a little marinara sauce on top. But anyone can make this dish, and it really comes out to 5.5 points on weight watchers w/o using marinara sauce. But it was wonderful!!!

These are fabulous! My boysfriend likes more spicy flavors so I added extra crushed red pepper flakes and he admitted that he now has a new favorite dish!
