Ingredients
- 1 large portabella mushroom cap, sliced
- 2 (5-ounce) raw boneless skinless lean chicken breast cutlets, pounded to 1/2-inch thickness
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 wedges light spreadable Swiss cheese (recommended: The Laughing Cow Light), room temperature
- 1/3 cup jarred roasted red peppers, drainedand sliced
- 6 large leaves fresh basil, plus more, for garnish
- 1/2 cup creamy tomato soup with 4g fat or less per serving (recommended: Amy's Chunky Tomato Bisque)
- 1/4 cup fat-free sour cream
- 1/8 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Bring a skillet sprayed with nonstick spray to medium-high heat on the stove. Add mushroom slices and cook them until softened, about 6 minutes, flipping the slices about halfway through cooking. Remove them from heat and set aside to cool.
Season chicken cutlets with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Lay the cutlets flat, side by side. Spread a cheese wedge over each cutlet and evenly top them with red peppers and basil. Place the mushroom slices horizontally over the basil.
One at a time, tightly roll the chicken cutlets up from the bottom and around the filling; secure with toothpicks. Place the chicken rolls in a baking pan sprayed with nonstick spray, seam sides down.
Cover the pan with foil, and bake in the oven for 20 minutes.
Carefully remove the foil and return the pan to the oven, uncovered, to bake until the chicken is cooked through, about 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, to make the sauce, combine tomato bisque, sour cream, and Italian seasoning in a microwave-safe bowl. Mix well.
Once the chicken is fully cooked, cover the sauce and microwave for 1 minute, and then stir well. Remove toothpicks from the chicken rolls, plate them, and evenly cover with the sauce.
Garnish with additional basil leaves and enjoy!

I made this last week and it was delicious, hubby even raved about it. Didn't have fresh basil, so I used the basil I had frozen, almost like the fresh. Will definitely make again. For a little more pazazz, flick in a few red pepper flakes for kick.

This was delicious and easy and I didn't even make ANY sauce to go over it. The tomato bisque thing just didn't sound good to me... I had jarred pasta sauce on hand, as another reviewer had done, just in case it needed something. But we didn't think it needed sauce at all! I doubled the recipe and gave some to my mother and she liked it, too. They were big chicken breasts and between that and all the filling, she and I each got more than 1 meal out of our servings. Oh - and I had just seen a great tip from Rachael Ray about basil, which came in really handy. The fresh basil at the store I went to looked limp and AWFUL. I brought a package home, trimmed the ends and put them right in a small container of water. Then, I inverted a ziploc bag over the whole thing (which created a sort of greenhouse. By the next morning, that basil looked better than most looks before it's even picked!
