Ingredients
- 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary, chopped
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 3 wedges low-fat Laughing Cow cheese
- 3 oz fire roasted red peppers, drained
- 1-2 cups arugula
- ¼ tsp sea salt
- ¼ tsp fresh ground papper
Directions
- Combine oil, rosemary and lemon zest in a shallow dish. Place chicken breasts in the dish, turning to coat each one. Marinate in the fridge for 2 hours.
- Preheat grill. Season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper, and grill until just cooked through, approximately 5-7 minutes each side. If baking (not grilling), preheat oven to 350. Put 1/8 inch water in bottom of pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes, depending on thickness of chicken breasts.
- Slice each chicken breast in half; don’t cut all the way through. Spread the cheese inside each breast and stuff with roasted peppers and arugula. Serve with brown rice or quinoa or a colorful salad.
