Grilled Stuffed Chicken recipes!
CHICKEN BREASTS STUFFED WITH
ZUCCHINI AND GOAT CHEESE
2 ounces Neufchâtel (low-fat cream cheese)
2 ounces goat cheese
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1/4 cup basil, chopped
4 (4-ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breast cutlets, pounded to 1/4-inch thickness
6 ounces zucchini, cut into ribbons using a vegetable peeler
4 (18-inch) lengths of kitchen twine
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1. Heat the grill.
2. Combine the Neufchâtel, goat cheese, lemon zest and basil, and stir until soft.
3. Place the breasts on the work surface. Spread the cheese mixture over the side facing up, leaving a 1/2-inch border all the way around. Top the cheese with a pile of zucchini; roll the chicken closed so the edges overlap by at least 1/2 inch. Secure the roll closed with a piece of twine. Repeat with remaining chicken. Brush the rolls on all surfaces with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
4. Grill 4 minutes, or until undersides are well marked. Turn a quarter turn, cook again until well marked on undersides and again turn. Continue process until chicken is cooked through -- about 16 minutes in all. Makes 4 servings.
CHICKEN BREASTS STUFFED WITH
FETA, OLIVE AND RED PEPPER
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/4 cup pitted Kalamata olives, chopped
1/4 teaspoon dried dill
1/4 teaspoon dried marjoram
4 (4-ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breast cutlets
1 (7-ounce) jar roasted red peppers, drained and rinsed

1 teaspoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1. Heat grill.
2. Combine feta, olives, dill and marjoram in a bowl.
3. Pound the chicken to 1/4-inch thickness. Divide the cheese mixture evenly among the 4 breasts, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the perimeter. Top with red pepper strips and roll up each breast until it overlaps; secure with the twine. Brush the outsides with olive oil and season with pepper.
4. Grill 4 minutes, or until undersides are well marked. Turn a quarter turn, cook again until well marked on the undersides and again turn. Continue the process until the chicken is cooked through -- about 16 minutes in all. Makes 4 servings.
