2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1/2 cup fat-free (skim) milk
4 cups cornflakes, crushed
1 tablespoon dried basil
8 boneless skinless chicken breasts

PREPARATION:

  1. Place broccoli and water in microwavable dish; cover. Microwave on HIGH 2 minutes. Let stand, covered, 2 minutes. Drain water from broccoli. Place broccoli in food processor or blender. Add parsley; process 10 seconds, scraping side of bowl if necessary. Add bell pepper, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, oil, paprika and salt.

Spread each chicken breast with one eighth of broccoli mixture, spreading to within 1/2 inch of edges. Roll up chicken breast from short end, tucking in sides if possible; secure with wooden toothpicks. Dip roulades in milk mixture; roll in cornflake crumb mixture. Place in prepared baking pan. Bake 20 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink in center and juices run clear. Garnish as desired.
