3 oz 1/3 less fat cream cheese, softened
4 oz reduced fat shredded cheddar jack, Sargento
2 tbsp chopped scallions
8 thin sliced skinless chicken breast cutlets, 3 oz each
1/2 cup Italian seasoned whole wheat breadcrumbs, or GF crumbs

1 tbsp olive oil

Wash and dry chicken cutlets, season with salt and pepper. Preheat oven to 450°F.

Combine cream cheese, cheddar, scallions, jalapeño and bacon crumbles in a medium bowl.
Lay chicken cutlets on a working surface and spread 2 tbsp of cream cheese mixture on each cutlet.
Loosely roll each one, secure the ends with toothpicks to prevent the cheese from oozing out.
