Cheddar Cheese Chicken

Oct 04, 2010

I'm not Martha Stewart or Rachael Ray but I made something for dinner last night that was delicious.  I'm sharing it here with you as it was great, passed the taste test of my extremely picky son and very easy to prepare. 

Enjoy!

CHEDDAR CHEESE CHICKEN

4 small (4 ounce) boneless skinless chicken breasts

4 1-ounce slices reduced fat cheddar cheese (you could also use flavored Laughing Cow spreadable cheese too! YUM)

2 cups crushed corn flakes cereal

Salt and pepper to taste

1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes

1/2 cup skim milk

Directions:
Cut a 2-inch long slit 1/2 way through each breast along the thickest side.
Place 1 piece of cheese into each chicken breast and secure the opening with wooden picks.
Combine cereal and seasoning.
Dip chicken into milk then generously roll in cereal mixture to cover completely.
Place chicken breasts in a baking dish sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.
Bake at 375 degrees for 40 minutes or until no longer pink.
