Ingredients

  • 1 cup Part Skim Mozzarella cheese, divided

  • 62 g (1/4 of 250g pkg) PHILIDELPHIA Light Brick Cream Cheese Spread, softened

  • ¼ cup finely chopped green peppers

  • ½ tsp. dried oregano leaves

  • ¼ tsp. garlic salt

  • 4 small boneless skinless chicken breast pounded to ¼ inch thickness

  • 1 cup pasta sauce

 

Directions

  1.  
    1. Preheat oven to 400F.  Mix ½ cup of the shredded cheese, the cream cheese, peppers, oregano and garlic salt until well blended; set aside.
    2. Place 2 chicken breast in large freezer bag.  Pound chicken until chicken is ¼ inch thick.  Remove chicken from bag; set aside.  Repeat with remaining 2 chicken breasts.  Place chicken, top-sides down, on large cutting board.  Spread each breast with one-fourth of the cheese mixture.  Starting at one of the short ends, tightly roll up each chicken breast.  Place, seam-sides down, in 8-inch square baking dish sprayed with cooking spray. Spoon pasta sauce evenly over chicken;  cover with foil.
    3. Bake 30 min. or until chicken is cooked through (170F). Remove foil; sprinkle chicken with remaining ½ cup shredded cheese.  Bake additional 3 to 5 min. or until cheese is melted.
