Light Pimento Cheese Stuffed Chicken

• 4 whole Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts (4-5 Oz. Each)
• 1/2 teaspoons Salt
• 1/2 teaspoons Pepper
• 1/2 teaspoons Smoked Paprika
• 20 pieces Toothpicks, For Securing Chicken
• 3/4 cups Shredded Fat Free Cheddar Cheese*
• 2 Tablespoons Onion, Minced
• 1- 1/2 Tablespoon Jarred Pimento, Minced
• 1 Tablespoon Fat-free Or Light Mayonnaise
• 2 teaspoons Fresh Lemon Juice
• 1/2 teaspoons Tabasco
• 1/2 teaspoons Salt
• 1 slice Turkey Bacon, Cooked

1. Preheat oven to 375 F.
2. For the pimento cheese:
3. In a medium bowl, combine cheddar cheese, onion, pimento, mayonnaise, lemon juice, Tabasco, 1/2 teaspoon salt and crumbled bacon.
4. Mix well until the cheese is chopped into small pieces and the mixture is spreadable.
5. A food processor would probably work too if you enjoy cleaning those bad boys!
6. Refrigerate until ready.
7. Take your chicken breasts and place between 2 pieces of wax paper, about 1-2 inches apart.
8. Using a meat mallet (or rolling pin or wine bottle) pound the chicken breasts until they are about 1/4 1/8 of an inch thick.
9. Season both sides of chicken with a little salt, pepper and paprika.
10. Now scoop about 1 1/2 2 tablespoons of your pimento cheese in the middle of each breast, leaving some space on the sides.
11. Fold the tips of the chicken to the center and secure with a toothpick.
12. Now fold up the sides, creating a sealed pocket with the chicken.
13. I use about 4 toothpicks per breast ... sometimes 6 for the really stubborn ones.
14. Transfer chicken to a lightly greased baking dish, and bake for 20 minutes until cooked through and lightly browned.
15. Its okay for some cheese to spill out.
16. *Note I usually only make 2 chicken breasts with the full pimento cheese recipe and have found that the extra cheese is great on top of baked fries or in potato skins!
