Recipe adapted from SkinnyTaste.

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 chicken breasts

  • 1 jalapeno, chopped and seeded

  • 2 ounces of low fat cream cheese

  • 2 slices of cooked bacon, chopped

  • 1/2 cup mexican cheese, shredded

  • 1 tbsp lime juice

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 1/4 cup gluten free breadcrumbs

  • Salt and pepper

  • Toothpicks

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

  2. With a sharp knife, slice chicken in half horizontally to butterfly it open.

  3. In a bowl, combine jalapeno, cream cheese, bacon and mexican cheese. Salt to taste. Mix together.

  4. Spoon half of the jalapeno mixture into each chicken breast.

  5. Roll chicken breasts up horizontally and secure sides together with toothpicks.

  6. Combine lime juice and olive oil in one bowl and gluten free breadcrumbs in a separate bowl.

  7. Dip chicken in the lime juice mixture and then coat in breadcrumbs. Spray coated chicken rolls ups with cooking spray or olive oil.

  8. Place chicken roll ups in a 9x13 pan and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. I broiled mine for the last 2 minutes to make it golden brown!
