With Spicy Buffalo Sauce

Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup, about 2 ounces crumbled blue cheese
  • 1 tablespoon reduced-fat sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, about 6 ounces each
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons 2% reduced-fat milk
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 cup Panko-Japanese style breadcrumbs)
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 6 tablespoons finely chopped & drained bottled roasted red bell peppers
  • 2 teaspoons water
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce
Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°.
  2. Combine first 4 ingredients in a small bowl. Cut a horizontal slit through thickest portion of each chicken breast half to form a pocket. Stuff cheese mixture evenly into pockets.
  3. Place flour in a shallow dish. Combine milk and egg in a shallow dish, stirring well with a whisk. Place panko in a shallow dish. Working with 1 chicken breast half at a time, dredge chicken in flour, then dip in egg mixture; dredge in panko. Repeat procedure with remaining chicken, flour, egg mixture, and panko.

  5. While chicken bakes, combine remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons butter, bell peppers, water, Worcestershire, and garlic in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer; cook until butter melts. Remove from heat, and stir in hot sauce. Serve sauce with chicken.
