2 thin chicken cutlets (or one large boneless skinless breast, cut lengthwise)
2 Tbsp herb cheese spread (like boursin or rondele. I used Philadephia Cheese Spreads Parmesan with Garlic and Herbs because it was about half the price as the others)
1/2 red bell pepper, roasted (see instructions below)
Bread crumbs
Nonstick cooking spray
To roast the pepper, preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Place the half pepper skin side up on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper. Roast for 20-30 minutes or until at least some of the skin is blackened. Cool completely and then carefully remove the skin. Most of it should come right off. Slice into thin strips.
Turn the oven down to 350 degrees.
Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound with the smooth side of a meat mallet or a heavy saucepan until they are uniform in thickness and thin enough to roll (I'd say about half an inch thick at most).
Spread each piece with about a tablespoon of cheese and top with red pepper.
Place the chicken in a baking dish, coated with nonstick spray. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through. Serve with your choice of sides. We served this with a cauliflower/kale mix and some potato cakes, made with leftover mashed potatoes. I'm not even going to post the recipe for the mashed potato cakes because I thought they tasted dry and I didn't like them at all. Ozzy endEd up with a nice treat *wink wink*
P.S. Stay tuned to Valentine's Day menu review! Just waiting to get my hands on the camera cord for uploading.
