Grilled Breast of Chicken
"This grilled chicken recipe is a nice change from the usual grilled chicken. Although the recipe says to serve it over green chili sauce, I think it will also be great with rice and a green beans or brocolli. Recipe source: Coyote Cafe"

Wonderful chicken! I did not use the green chili sauce but next time I think I would like to give it a try. Did have a bit of trouble stuffing the chicken breasts but they were prepackaged and smaller in size. Will be buying larger ones in the future. The cheese mixture is so good. Tangy, fresh flavor that works great with the ham and chicken. I used my grill pan on the stove and cooked them until they were almost done. Placed them in a baking dish and put them in a 350 degree oven to finish cooking. Thank you ellie for posting this recipe!

<p>I love cooking and trying different foods, but my favorite cookbooks are now Weight Watchers or low fat/low cal cookbooks as I tend to try and make low fat/low cal recipes. I lost over 90 pounds on Weight Watchers and have maintained for over a year now -- so my cooking/eating habits have changed drastically following my weight loss and to keep it off!</p>
