What You Need

can (14-1/2 oz.) no-salt-added diced tomatoes with basil, garlic and oregano, undrained

1-1/4

cups KRAFT Shredded Low-Moisture Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese, divided

1/4

cup chopped fresh basil

pkg. (6 oz.) STOVE TOP Stuffing Mix for Chicken

small boneless skinless chicken breast halves (2 lb.)

1/3

cup KRAFT Italian Roasted Red Pepper Dressing

It's for dipping and dunking and mixing-upping. And yes, for salad too.

Make It

HEAT oven to 350ºF.

step 1

COMBINE tomatoes, 1/2 cup cheese and basil in medium bowl. Add stuffing mix; stir just until moistened.

step 2

PLACE 2 chicken breasts in freezer-weight resealable plastic bag. Pound chicken to 1/4-inch thickness. Repeat with remaining chicken breasts. Place chicken, top-sides down, on cutting board; cover with stuffing.

step 3

ROLL chicken breasts up, starting at one short end. Place, seam-sides down, in 13x9-inch baking dish; drizzle with dressing. Bake 40 min. or until chicken is done (165°F). Top with remaining cheese; bake 5 min. or until melted.

Kraft Kitchens Tips

Variation

For a south-of-the-border chicken dish, simply use diced tomatoes with bell or jalapeno peppers, chopped fresh cilantro instead of the basil and KRAFT Mexican Style Shredded Cheese instead of the mozzarella cheese.

Serving Suggestion

Serve with CRYSTAL LIGHT Iced Tea and hot cooked broccoli sprinkled with KRAFT Grated Parmesan Cheese.

How to Store Long-Stemmed Fresh Herbs

Place long-stemmed fresh herbs, such as parsley, cilantro and dill, in a tall glass with the stem ends down. Fill with an inch of cold water; make sure no leaves are under the water. Cover the leaves loosely with a plastic bag and refrigerate until ready to use, changing the water every 2 days. Herbs should stay vibrant and fresh for about 5 days.

we made this and it was easy we substituted the salad dressing for a romano basil vinigrette, the cheese for a mozzarella with sundried tomato and basil and the stuffing for a stuffing with herbs. turned out really good and flavorfull.

This was so easy and my husband loved it too. I also used italian dressing and I didnt have fresh basil or dried basil so, I used a generic italian seasoning and it tasted great. I only made 3 breasts so I froze the rest of the stuffing mix. Cant wait to make it for friends!

At first, my fiance was a little apprehensive. But when he smelt it cooking, I had to run him out of the kitchen! Thanks for a scrumptious and easy meal.

This was excellent! My family loved it. It had a much different flavor than most of what I cook. I was not too sure how I would like the red pepper dressing, but it had a very nice flavor. It was easy to make and I love that you don't need fresh ingredients and you can make it ahead of time and just stick in in the oven at dinnertime! This will be my new dinner guest dish!

This was delicious. Nice company dish as it looks a lot harder to make than it was.

My husband and I really enjoyed this dish. I did make a copule of changes though. I used herb bread crumbs, zesty Italian dressing, california garlic, touch of salt, chopped green onions, chopped olives and chopped almonds.

This was very easy, and VERY good! My kids were "clean platers", and even my husband liked it, he's hard to please...

Ok, so I am newly married I LOVE trying new recipes, but my husband is Super picky. I made this recipe and he absolutely loved it! so much so that he took the leftover to work the next day which he has never done before! anyways, I couldn't find the right dressing so I used Zesty Italian, it worked and tasted GREAT!

I am not much of a cook. A friend of mine gave me this recipe and I made it lastnight. It was so easy. We are garlic lovers so I added a clove of garlic to the tomatoes. What a great tasting meal!
