Yield: 2 servings

Ready in: 45 minutes or less

Ingredients:

2 chicken breasts

1/3 cup red and green bell peppers diced into small cubes

1 clove garlic, minced

2 Tbsp pine nuts

salt & pepper to taste

4 slices smoked turkey breast, thin sliced

2 tbsp cream cheese

2 tsp butter

Preparation:

Butterfly each chicken breast and place in a zip-lock plastic bag. Pound them with a meat hammer to ¼ inch thickness. Season each one with very little salt and white pepper.

In a small skillet, heat the butter and saute the garlic, bell peppers and pine nuts for 3 – 4 minutes. Move this to a small bowl to cool a little. Add the cream cheese and very little salt and white pepper and mix until smooth.

Place half of the cream cheese mixture in each chicken breast and roll them up to enclose the cream cheese.

Take two sheets of aluminum foil and spray with non-stick cooking spray. Place 2 slices of smoked turkey on each piece of aluminum foil, add the chicken and roll up into a tight roll. Refrigerate this for at least one hour or put in freezer for 30 minutes.

To cook, preheat the oven to 470 F and broil the chicken close to the heat for 20 minutes, turning it a little every 6 minutes. (The meat thermometer should register 140 deg F.)

To serve, remove the foil and cut each breast in half.
