Laughing Cow Chicken

If you haven't tried Laughing Cow cheese, you should. It's delicious. When you're at the grocery store, go over by the 'fancy cheese' area. It comes in a few different varieties and all are wonderful! It's good on a cracker, in a sandwich , with veggies, or just by itself. But for this recipe, it's going inside chicken!

Ingredients:
  • 2 chicken breasts
  • Breadcrumbs
  • 2 wedges Laughing Cow cheese (I used their light french onion cheese for this dish)
  • 2 scoops of pesto
  • A little olive oil

Directions:

  • Wash and dry thawed chicken
  • Spread 1 wedge of Laughing Cow cheese on each chicken breast
  • Now spread 1 scoop (however much you like) of pesto onto each chicken breast
  • Roll up the chicken breast (it should be rolled similar to THIS)
  • Secure with a toothpick so that it doesn't unroll
  • Drizzle a little olive oil on the chicken and rub to completely cover
  • Place breadcrumbs in a bowl. Roll your chicken around in the breadcrumbs so that the chicken is completely covered
  • Place rolled chicken breasts in a lightly greased baking pan and bake at 425 degrees for about 20 minutes

Yum! The french onion cheese was a great match with the pesto and the breadcrumbs gave it a nice crunch!
