3 oz 1/3 less fat cream cheese (softened)
4 oz reduced fat shredded cheddar jack (Sargento)
2 tbsp chopped scallions
8 thin sliced skinless chicken breast cutlets (3 oz each)
1/2 cup Italian seasoned whole wheat breadcrumbs (or GF crumbs)
1 1/2 juicy limes (juice of)
1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

Wash and dry chicken cutlets, season with salt and pepper. Preheat oven to 450°F.

Combine cream cheese, cheddar, scallions, jalapeño and bacon crumbles in a medium bowl.

Loosely roll each one, secure the ends with toothpicks to prevent the cheese from oozing out.

Dip chicken in lime-oil mixture, then in breadcrumbs and place seam side down on a baking dish. Repeat with the remaining chicken.
When finished, lightly spray the top of the chicken with oil spray.
Bake 22-25 minutes, serve immediately.
