What You Need

oz. (1/2 of 8-oz. pkg.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened

green onions, finely chopped

Tbsp. chopped fresh basil, divided

pkg. (8 oz.) KRAFT Shredded Italian* Five Cheese with a TOUCH OF PHILADELPHIA, divided

small boneless skinless chicken breast halves (2 lb.), pounded to 1/4-inch thickness

jar (14 oz.) spaghetti sauce

Make It

HEAT oven to 400°F.

MIX cream cheese, onions, 2 Tbsp. basil and 1/2 cup shredded cheese until blended; shape into 8 logs. Place 1 log on one short end of each chicken breast; press lightly into chicken. Roll up tightly, tucking in both ends of breast around filling to completely enclose filling.

Make Ahead

Recipe can be assembled ahead of time. Refrigerate up to 2 hours before baking as directed, increasing the initial bake time if necessary until chicken is done.

We served this over rice and the chicken was moist, but there wasn't enough sauce to our liking. The next time we make it we will add more sauce... There will be a next time. Very Good!

I tried this recipe when I found it online on the website. It was very easy to make, and it tasted delicious. I used my own left over sauce (the kind you cook for 6+ hrs.) as we do not like jar sauce. Served it to my friend with Tortellini salad and she loved it too. The chicken was tender and very flavorful!

My family loved this recipe, including all 5 of my kids. It is hard to find a crowd pleaser and they all loved it. The chicken was very moist and the flavor was excellant.
