Stuffed Grilled Chicken Italiano

So, I found this recipe on Pinterest for a Grilled Chicken Italiano. It looked really simple, and really yummy, so, I decided to make it and edit it. I can tell you right now that it was indeed very yummy, and so simple to make. I was always intimidated by making "stuffed chicken" recipes, but, man, I'm not anymore. In fact, I'm making another stuffed chicken recipe this week, so, stay tuned! :)

Grilled Stuffed Chicken Italiano

-Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
-Fire Roasted Red Peppers (I bought mine in a jar, but, next time I'm just going to oil up a red bell pepper, and throw it on the grill for a bit)
-Low-fat Mozzarella Cheese Sticks (As many sticks as you have breasts
-Fresh basil leaves (3-4 per breast)
-Salt, pepper, garlic powder, oregano to taste
-Kabob skewers, soaked
-Grated parmesan cheese
-Marinara Sauce (or, if you're my husband, salsa)

-Pound out the chicken breasts so that you can easily stuff and roll them. (*Tip: No meat mallet? No problem! I put my chicken breasts into a large piece of saran wrap folded in half, and took a rubber mallet that my husband had in the garage to them. The chicken didn't get the dirt from the mallet, and the mallet didn't get chicken-y)
-Cut the mozzarella sticks in half length-wise, and then again width-wise.
-Lay the roasted red pepper, basil leaves, and mozzarella to one side of the breast.
-Season with the salt, pepper, garlic, and oregano (I can't give an exact amount, because I know exactly how much I'll want taste wise. Use your best judgement, and alter the recipe next time if you need to.)
-Roll the breast up, trying to keep everything (especially the cheese) wrapped up.
-Preheat your oven to 350*
-Skewer the chicken with the soaked kabobs, to keep the breast together and everything inside (I did 2 skewers per breast).
-Heat up your grill.
-Place the breasts on the grill, and cook until they're almost done.
-Transfer the breasts to a baking dish, and sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese.
-Finish the breasts in the oven.
-Top with a few spoonfuls of Marinara, or, as I said above, my husband wanted salsa on his.

As I said, these are very easy, and they're totally bariatric friendly! :)
