Preparation Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Lightly spray a baking dish with oil.
  • Mix cheddar cheese, Laughing Cow cheese, celery, green onion, carrot, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
  • Lay out the chicken cutlets. Place an even amount of the cheese mixture in the center of each cutlet. Roll up each cutlet tightly.
  • Set up a breading station: one bowl with crushed Ritz cracker crumbs (or panko) and another bowl with light mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon of hot sauce, and lemon juice.
  • Roll each chicken breast in the mayonnaise mixture, then dredge in the cracker crumbs. Place seam-side down on a lightly greased baking sheet.
  • Lightly spray the top of the chicken with olive oil spray. Bake for 30 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and golden brown.
  • While the chicken is baking, melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in the remaining hot sauce and garlic powder.
  • Drizzle the buffalo sauce over the finished chicken breasts before serving.
