Cheesy Jalapeno Popper Baked Stuffed Chicken

.
Experimented again in the kitchen last week with a new recipe.  It is SO darn simple to roll your favorite goodness up in a thin chicken breast and bake it.  You REALLY can't mess up or go wrong.  "Charleston" agreed that this would be a good one to have the next time we had friends over for a casual dinner; it's that good. 
Enjoy!

Ingredients:
2 slices center cut bacon, cooked and crumbled

3 jalapeños, chopped (remove seeds for milder)

3 oz 1/3 less fat cream cheese, softened

4 oz reduced fat shredded cheddar jack (Sargento)

2 tbsp chopped scallions

8 thin sliced skinless chicken breast cutlets, 3 oz each

1/2 cup Italian seasoned whole wheat breadcrumbs

1 1/2 juicy limes, juice of

1 tbsp olive oil

salt and fresh pepper

olive oil non-stick spray


Directions:

Wash and dry chicken cutlets, season with salt and pepper. Preheat oven to 450°. Lightly spray a baking dish with non-stick spray.

Combine cream cheese, cheddar, scallions, jalapeño and bacon crumbles in a medium bowl.
Lay chicken cutlets on a working surface and spread 2 tbsp of cream cheese mixture on each cutlet. Loosely roll each one, secure the ends with toothpicks to prevent the cheese from oozing out.

Place breadcrumbs in a bowl; in a second bowl combine olive oil, lime juice, salt and pepper.
Dip chicken in lime-oil mixture, then in breadcrumbs and place seam side down on a baking dish. Repeat with the remaining chicken. When finished, lightly spray the top of the chicken with oil spray
Bake 22-25 minutes, serve immediately
