• 3 TBSPs shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 tsp dried oregano

• 1/8 tsp paprika
• 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
• 3 fresh basil leaves, chopped or 1/2 tsp dried basil
• 1 tsp olive oil
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• Pinch salt

Preparation

Step 1

1. For each chicken, make a horizontal cut along one long side almost to the other side; leave chicken breasts attached at opposite side. Open breast so it lies flat; cover with plastic wrap and flatten to 1/4 in thickness. Remove plastic wrap.

2. Combine basil, pepper and salt; sprinkle over the cut side of each chicken breast. Top with red pepper strips and sprinke with cheese. Fold in sides and roll up. Secure with toothpicks.

3. Combine oregano, garlic powder and paprika; sprinkle over the top of each chicken roll. Place chicken in a med or large ziploc steam bag. Seal bag and place in microwave.

4. Cook on high for 5-9 minutes or until chicken juices are clear. If needed, continue microwaving at 30 second intervals or until chicken is done. Let stand 1 minute before handling. Meanwhile, combine all of the tomato relish ingredients. Carefully open bag and remove chicken. Serve with Tomato Relish.
