Chicken breasts stuffed with diced tomatoes, red bell peppers, Sargento® Chef Blends™ Shredded 6 Cheese Italian, and basil and rolled in bread crumbs to make a fabulous dinner filled with flavor.

Sometimes I feel a little uninspired when it comes to cooking chicken.  I tend to get a little bored,  and I like to come up with new ways to prepare it.  One of my favorite things to do is make pinwheel chicken.  It’s pretty simple, and it makes you look very fancy!  Go ahead and impress your family with your pinwheel chicken skills!

So I got my creative juices flowing for this recipe with a fabulous Chopped At Home contest hosted by Sargento® cheese.  Do you watch Chopped on the food network?  It’s a great show where the chefs get a basket filled with mystery ingredients.  They then have to create a recipe using all of them.  Some of them are really tough too!  We’ve recently been watching the kid chefs compete.  My daughter loves to watch them!!

So I was challenged to create a dish using:

chicken breasts
Sargento® Chef Blends™ Shredded 6 Cheese Italian
red bell peppers
Greek yogurt

I had a few ideas, but these pinwheels definitely stood out in my mind.  I knew these ingredients would be great for it.  I LOVED the challenge of using all four of them!

So now Sargento®  wants you to get creative using their cheese and come up with your own dishes at home.  They also are giving you a chance to win $10,000 in their Chopped at Home contest.  You heard me right!  $10,000 sounds like a great prize, and I’d love for one of my readers to WIN it!  So please head on over and enter!

Pinwheel chicken is simple to make.  Start out by cutting chicken breasts in half to provide you 2 thin slices of chicken.  Place them in a storage bag and pound them out with a heavy-bottom skillet or side of a canned good.  Fill them, roll them, secure them with toothpicks, roll them in yogurt and bread crumbs, and bake them up.  Your family will be so impressed with your cooking skills and pretty presentation!

Have fun using all of the great Sargento® cheese blends for your recipes.  There are 30 varieties and unique blends available.  You will love the 6 Cheese Italian blend!  I mean it has all the good ones like Mozzarella, Smoked Provolone, Fontina, Romano, Asiago, and Parmesan.  It is the perfect combination for any Italian recipe creation you desire!!
