Garlic Lemon Stuffed Chicken Breasts

These chicken breasts are incredibly cheesy, moist, and tasty. We had these simple breasts with some peas and roasted carrots.

Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast
4 oz light or fat free cream cheese, cut into 1/2'' slices
4 oz reduced fat cheddar cheese, cut into 1/2'' slices
1/2 cup milk
3/4 cup italian seasoned breadcrumbs
1/3 cup reduced fat parmesan cheese, grated
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/3 cup butter, melted
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon paprika

Directions
-Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a baking dish with nonstick spray or thin coat of olive oil.
-Cut each chicken breast almost in half (butterfly). Place one slice each of cheddar cheese and cream cheese into the center of each chicken breast. Set aside.
-Pour milk into a small bowl.
-In a separate bowl, combine breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese.
-Carefully dip each breast into the milk and then the breadcrumbs mixture, to coat evenly.
-Place each coated chicken breast in the baking dish and tuck edges under to seal.
-Melt butter in the microwave and stir in the lemon juice and garlic. Drizzle over all of the coated chicken pieces.
-Season all chicken with garlic salt and paprika.
-Bake for 30 minutes, or until no longer pink in the center and cooked thoroughly.

Enjoy! :)
