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.

My family loved this recipe. I had to cook it for about 45 minutes instead of 30, but it was great!

Not much flavor, my family did not like the look of the stuffing with the tomatoes.

I really enjoyed this recipe! The only thing was that I went to 2 different grocery stores and couldn't find the dressing. Instead I used red pepper mediterrean and it was very good. The 2nd time I made it I added extra dressing and a finely chopped red pepper in the stuffing mixture and that made it even better!

This was excellent and very easy to make. Great for something different! I was unable to find the dressing in my store so, I used sundried tomato with roasted red pepper dressing.
