Chicken/Basil/Feta Roll-up...

As promised....I made these last night.

I got a package of thin sliced skinless chicken breast, each package has 5 thin chicken steaks.  In a bowl combine 2 oz of feta cheese (I used trader Joe's regular greek feta), and a handfull of chopped fresh basil, a little garlic powder and pepper.

For each chicken steak, lay out flat, in the middle put 1/5 of the cheese mixture and roll up.  Fasten with toothpick.  Do that for all 5.

In a pan, place 1tbs of olive oil, and place chicken rolls, seam side down and brown the chicken.  Roll to other side and brown.  Add 1-2 tsp of chicken bullion, sprinkle paprika on chicken add  1 1/2 cups of water, cover and simmer for about 30 minutes.

I added a little arrowroot to the water just to thicken up the sauce a bit, but you can add flour, cornmeal or whatever you want.

I ate 1 1/2 rolls of chicken, translates into 250 calories.  I served with 1/2 c. of wild rice (ate about 1/2 of it) but you can do the math on the rice......this is so good, high protein and just tastes fancy, but is super easy to make.

Oh yum. That sounds delicious. I can't have chicken for another week or so, but I am so trying this.
