What You'll Need

  • 4 (4-ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breast cutlets
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, plus extra for sprinkling
  • Black pepper for sprinkling
  • 2 slices (1-1/2 ounces total) reduced-fat Swiss cheese, cut in half
  • 12 basil leaves
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/2 cup fat-free, low sodium chicken broth

What to Do

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9- x 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
     
  2. Sprinkle chicken evenly with garlic powder and pepper. Place a half-slice of Swiss cheese over each of the chicken breasts. Place 3 basil leaves over each and roll up jelly roll-style; secure each with a wooden toothpick. Place the rolls in the baking dish.
     
  3. In a medium skillet, over medium heat, heat oil until hot. Add onion, tomatoes, remaining 1/2 teaspoon of garlic, and parsley. Saute 5 minutes. Add broth and cook 1 minute. Pour over chicken.
     
  4. Bake 20 to 25 minutes, or until no pink remains in the chicken.
