Yield Makes 8 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups chopped fresh parsley
6 Tbsp. GREY POUPON Dijon Mustard, divided
2 Tbsp. KRAFT Grated Parmesan Cheese
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp. dried basil leaves
2/3 cup cholesterol-free egg product, divided
1-1/2 cups plain dry bread crumbs, divided
8 small boneless skinless chicken breasts (2 lb.), pounded to 1/4 inch thickness
8 wooden skewers
2 Tbsp. margarine or butter, melted
4 cups hot cooked rice

Steps:

  • Preheat broiler. Mix parsley, 4 Tbsp. (1/4 cup) of the mustard, the cheese, garlic, basil and 1/4 cup of the egg product in small bowl until well blended. Stir in 1/2 cup of the bread crumbs; mix well. Spread evenly onto chicken breasts; roll up each breast starting from one of the short ends.
  • Blend remaining egg product and remaining 2 Tbsp. mustard. Dip chicken rolls in egg mixture, then in remaining 1 cup bread crumbs, turning to evenly coat all sides. Cut each roll-up crosswise into 4 equal pieces, then thread onto skewer. (Each skewer will hold 4 spirals.)
  • Broil, 6 inches from heat, 10 to 15 min. or until chicken is cooked through, turning occasionally and brushing with the melted margarine. Serve with rice.
