BLUE CHEESE-STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS

Recipe from Better Homes & Gardens Easy Everyday Recipe Library

• 4 medium skinless, boneless chicken breast halves (about 1 lb. total)
• salt
• pepper
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans, toasted
• 1   3oz package cream-cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese (1 ounce)
• 2 tbsp butter or margarine, melted
• 1/4 tsp paprika

Rinse chicken, pat dry with paper towels. Place each half between two pieces of plastic wrap. Working from center to edges, pound lightly with the flat side of a meat mallet to 1/4 inch thickness. Remove plastic wrap. Sprinkle with salt & pepper.

In a small bowl combine pecans, cream cheese, and blue cheese. Place about 1/4 cup cheese mixture on each chicken piece. Fold in the sides: roll up jelly-roll style, pressing edges to seal.

Place chicken in a 2-quart square baking dish. In a small bowl combine margarine or butter and paprika. Brush chicken with mixture. Bake, uncovered, in a 350 degree oven for about 30 minutes or until chicken is tender and no longer pink.
