<br>
<br>Chicken stuffed with veggies 'n cheese and then smothered in a creamy tomato sauce? Prepare to fall HARD for this dish...
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>Ingredients:
<br>1 large portabella mushroom cap, sliced
<br>Two 5-oz. raw boneless skinless lean chicken breast cutlets, pounded to 1/2-inch thickness
<br>1/8 tsp. salt
<br>1/8 tsp. black pepper
<br>1/8 tsp. garlic powder
<br>2 wedges The Laughing Cow Light Creamy Swiss cheese
<br>1/3 cup jarred roasted red peppers, drained
<br>6 large leaves fresh basil
<br>1/2 cup Amy's Organic Light in Sodium Chunky Tomato Bisque
<br>1/4 cup fat-free sour cream
<br>1/8 tsp. Italian seasoning
<br>
<br>Directions:
<br>Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
<br>
<br>Bring a skillet sprayed with nonstick spray to medium-high heat on the stove. Add mushroom slices and cook until softened, about 6 minutes, flipping slices about halfway through cooking. Remove from heat and set aside.
<br>
<br>Season chicken cutlets with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Lay cutlets flat with the length running left to right. Spread a cheese wedge over each cutlet and evenly top with red peppers and basil. Place mushroom slices horizontally over the basil.
<br>
<br>One at a time, tightly roll chicken cutlets up from the bottom and around the filling; secure with toothpicks. Place chicken rolls in a baking pan sprayed with nonstick spray.
<br>
<br>Cover the pan with foil, and bake in the oven for 20 minutes.
<br>
<br>Carefully remove foil and return pan to the oven, uncovered, to bake until chicken is cooked through, about 15 minutes.
<br>
<br>Meanwhile, to make the sauce, combine tomato bisque, sour cream, and Italian seasoning in a microwave-safe bowl. Mix well.
<br>
<br>Once chicken is fully cooked, microwave sauce for 1 minute, and then stir well. Remove toothpicks from chicken rolls, plate them, and evenly cover with sauce. Enjoy!

<br>They're AMAZINGLY cute and delicious to boot! (Weeeee... a rhyme!)
<br>
<br>Ingredients:
<br>2 tbsp. (half a 4-serving box) Jell-O Sugar Free Fat Free Vanilla Instant pudding mix
<br>2 tbsp. Splenda No Calorie Sweetener (granulated)
<br>1/4 tsp. vanilla extract

<br>Optional topping: Fat Free Reddi-wip
<br>

<br>Combine pudding mix, Splenda, vanilla extract, and 1/4 cup cold water in a bowl. Stir vigorously until smooth and slightly thickened. Fold in Cool Whip, and then fold in cream cheese. Stir thoroughly, until completely mixed and smooth. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.
<br>
<br>Evenly distribute raspberries between 2 parfait glasses (or any mid-sized glasses). Evenly distribute half of the chilled pudding mixture between the glasses, about 1/4 cup per glass.
<br>

<br>HG Heads-Up: It's important that the cream cheese is at room temperature. If needed, soften it in the microwave for just a few seconds.
<br>
<br>HG FYI: The recipe method of calculating PointsPlus&reg; values counts the carbs, protein, etc., from fruit -- even though fruit has a value of 0*. If calculated without the fruit, this recipe has a PointsPlus&reg; value of 4* per serving.
