Ingredients

6 (4oz) skinned, boned chicken breast halves
1/4 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Pepper
1/2 cup Chopped commercial roasted red pepper
1/3 cup Light processed cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup Pesto
3/4 cup Crushed corn flakes cereal
3 Tbls chopped fresh parsley
1/2 tsp Paprika
Vegetable cooking spray
6 Fresh thyme sprigs (optional)

Preparation

1. Place chicken between 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap; flatten to ¼-inch thickness, using a meat mallet or rolling pin. Sprinkle with salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper; set aside.

2. Combine red pepper, cream cheese, and pesto in a small bowl, stirring until smooth. Spread cheese mixture evenly over chicken breasts. Roll up, jellyroll fashion; and secure with wooden picks.

3. Combine crushed cereal, parsley, and paprika. Dredge chicken in cereal mixture. Place in an 11- x 7- x 1 ½-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 35 minutes; let stand 10 minutes. Remove wooden picks from chicken, and slice each roll into 6 rounds. Garnish with thyme sprigs, if desired.
