During this mandated quarantine, several people are experiencing stressful days filled with zoom meetings with professors, conference calls with coworkers, learning and working from home, and being a teacher for your kids. The last thing we want to do at the end of our day is add to our stress by making a complicated and time consuming meal. To make things easier, here is a different, but easy to make, recipe to try during quarantine.
Ingredients
- 6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
- 6 tablespoons of cream cheese
- 6 tablespoons of fresh salsa
- 6 tablespoons of Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs
- 12 toothpicks
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Find a baking sheet to use, and spray it with your cooking spray.
- Pound each chicken breast with a meat mallet until they are 1/4 inch thick.
- Next, add 1 tablespoon of fresh salsa and 1 tablespoon of cream cheese onto each chicken breast. Then roll each chicken breast from the narrow end, jelly roll style. Secure each chicken roll up with two toothpicks.
- Take each chicken breast and dunk it in breadcrumbs. Place the chicken roll ups on the baking sheet, and bake them for 20-30 minutes.
Now that you’ve finished making your stress-free dinner, gather whoever you’re quarantined with, and share your delicious meal with them. Don’t forget to take those toothpicks out before you cut into and eat your roll-up!
