KALAMATA STUFFED CHICKEN WITH ROASTED PEPPER CREAM

Makes 6 servings
Ingredients • 6 skinless boneless chicken breast halves • 1/2 teaspoon salt • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper • 1/2 cup grated Cabot Sharp Cheddar • 1/2 cup finely chopped pitted kalamata olives • 1/2 cup Italian-seasoned dry breadcrumbs • Cooking spray • 1 (7 ounce) jar roasted red bell peppers, drained and pated dry • 1/2 cup Cabot Greek Style Yogurt • 1/4 teaspoon salt • Mixed salad greens
Directions 1. Preheat oven to 350ºF.
2. Place chicken between two sheets plastic wrap; pound with meat mallet or heavy pan to flatten. Uncover and sprinkle evenly with salt and pepper.
3. Sprinkle cheese and olives evenly onto center of each chicken breast; roll up, jellyroll-style and secure with wooden toothpicks. Dredge chicken rolls in breadcrumbs.
4. Place rolls seam-side-down on baking sheet coated with cooking spray; lightly coat rolls with cooking spray. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until chicken is cooked all the way to center.
5. Meanwhile, pulse red peppers in food processor until pureed; add yogurt and salt, pulsing just until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
6. Remove chicken from oven and remove toothpicks. Let cool slightly. Slice breasts crosswise into 1-inch thick slices; arrange over salad greens and serve with red bell pepper sauce.
