...a little bit of life...: Low Calorie Chicken and Cheese

One of my favorite things is cheese! Of course, cheese is not the healthiest option but it's so yummy and gooey and delicious. One thing that I have become obsessed with is Laughing Cow cheese wedges. The light version is only 35 calories per wedge and comes in great flavors. I normally snack on them with some honey wheat pretzels or wheat thin crackers. But, honestly these delicious little triangles can be used for everything! I have spread them on a toasted bagel for breakfast and I even use them in my healthier spinach dip (recipe is "in the kitchen...)!
This time, I wanted to mix up the regular and boring breaded baked chicken. We all know that chicken is a great vessel for stuffing, so why not stuff with the delicious low calorie cheese wedge. And with all of the great flavor choices, each one with taste completely different. My favorite is the Sun-dried Tomato and Basil Mozzarella. The Chipotle Queso is also delicious! Feel free to mix it up!

Low Calorie Chicken and Cheese

Butterfly doesn't need to be perfect!
It just needs to hold the cheese :)

Ingredients:
2 chicken breast, thawed and butterflied
1 wedge light Laughing Cow cheese, any flavor
1/2 cup regular bread crumbs
1 egg beaten with a splash of water
4-5 tablespoons all purpose flour

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Get your breading station set up. Prepare one plate with flour, one bowl with egg and water mixture, and one with the bread crumbs.

Butterfly both chicken breasts by carefully slicing the chicken in half lengthwise. Spread 1/2 of the cheese wedge in each piece and close. Press the chicken together to help it seal.

Dredge chicken in flour; be careful to keep the cheese inside. Then, move the chicken to the egg mixture. And finally, bread chicken thoroughly.
