Using fat-free Swiss cheese won't take away one bit of taste from our Basil and Cheese-Stuffed Chicken. Your gang'll never know they're eating something good for them!

What You'll Need:
• 2 slices (1-1/2 ounces total) fat-free Swiss cheese, cut in half
• 4 (4-ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breast cutlets
• 8 basil leaves
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 large onion, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons white wine

What To Do:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat an 8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray.*

2. Place a half-slice of Swiss cheese over each of the chicken breasts. Place 2 basil leaves over each and roll up jelly roll-style; secure each with 2 wooden toothpicks. Place the rolls in the baking dish.

3. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion, and sauté until tender.
Add the wine, and cook for 2 minutes. Pour over the chicken.

4. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until no pink remains in the chicken.
