oil, for greasing pan
8 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, cut into 1/2 inch slices
1 (8 ounce) package Cheddar cheese, cut into 1/2 inch slices
1 cup milk
1 1/2 cups Italian seasoned bread crumbs

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly coat a large, shallow baking dish with oil.
Butterfly each breast by slicing in half horizontally through the center, cutting almost but not completely through. Place one slice each of Cheddar and cream cheese in the center of each breast. Close again as if placing between the pages of a book. Set aside.
Pour milk into a shallow bowl. In a separate bowl, combine breadcrumbs and Romano cheese. Carefully dip each breast first in milk, then in breadcrumb mixture, patting lightly to firmly coat. Place breasts side by side in a single layer in pre-oiled baking dish, tucking edges under to seal.
Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in lemon juice and garlic, and drizzle evenly over chicken. Season breasts with garlic salt and paprika, if using.
Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until no longer pink in center and juices run clear.

Good, but as others suggested and I wished I would have listened, is cut the cream cheese in half because it was a little overwhelming. Other than that, we enjoyed. Thanks

Made this for dinner last night, what can I say . . .EXCELLENT! The only changes I made were I added 1 1/2 tablespoons of lemon juice instead of just 1 tablespoon (this was a recipe for 4) and to be honest, I think next time I will add even more lemon. We like that lemon flavor!! Also, I used cheddar (hard) slices and I think I will do the shredded cheddar and I will try and spread the cream cheese on (instead of chunky). Maybe that will prevent it from oozing out!! :) Overall, this is an excellent recipe and VERY flavorful and to be honest, VERY easy to make. . .a must try for any household!

Very tasty!!! I did what one reviewer suggested and pounded the chicken flat, filled with cheese, and then roll up (securing with toothpicks). I also used Parmesan instead of Romano. This was so easy. Will do MANY more times :-)

This was very nice. I followed reviewers advice and used less cream cheese and toothpicks. I also had some sliced ham in the fridge which I needed to use and this seemed the perfect recipe. The only reason I am giving this 4 stars is because I felt it was a bit too rich for my tastes and hubby's. I recommend that you don't drizzle the extra butter over the top as it is too much with the cream cheese, tasty cheese, cheese in the crumbs. Just a squirt of lemon and sprinkle of garlic salt should be fine. I did add paprika on top and these cooked fine. I served with bread machine rolls from this site. (see photo)

Yum yum yummy!!! This recipe was so easy - and tastes HEAVENLY! My husband issued appreciative groans (mouth full of warm melted stuffing...) from his side of the plate when this was served! I low-carbed it to my liking - replacing the Italian bread crumbs with almond flour, Italian seasoning, and kosher salt. Also, since I didn't have Romano, I just used more shredded cheddar. This was a heavenly savory recipe - and great for company! Best of all, I made the full recipe and froze 6 of the chicken breasts. They reheated beautifully as an at-work lunch. What a treat! Thanks for posting this one!

This recipe was excellent! My husband doesn't care for chicken, so I'm always trying new ways of fixing it. Well, you know what they say, cheese makes everything taste better! I butterflied the chicken breasts as directed in the recipe (rather than rolling as suggested by other reviewers) and it worked fine. Some cheese melted out, but not that much. I did take the suggestion of reducing the amount of cream cheese. I reduced it by about a quarter, but I think half would be better next time. I served this with pasta and we ended up cutting up our chicken breasts into bite size pieces and mixing it with the pasta. On top of the pasta, I just had a mixture of melted butter, lemon juice, minced garlic and dried basil. It was delicious! I will definitely make this again. It takes a little prepping, but it's worth it.

LOVED THIS! Tasted light and the breast did not dry out- my hubby hates chicken breast usually due to the dryness. I was at a loss as to what to accompany it with- until I found the "Lemon Pasta sauce" by Holly. Topped linguine with sauce and chicken, asparagus on the side- YUMMY! My only thought was that the chicken was somewhat hard to roll around the cheese- so I will get the breasts tenderized by my hubby the butcher next time- will make the breast flatter and easier to roll. I also see this as pretty failproof in that I did not have any cheddar on had so I used cream cheese and sliced muenster ( hubbies fav) and it came out great!

Made this last week - what a great recipe! I didn't have any cream cheese on hand, so I mixed cheddar, mozzarella, and sour cream for the filling. Turned out awesome. Husband was impressed, and we're having it again tonight!

Absolutely wonderful! I made this last week and my husband requested it again yesterday. Very easy to make and ingredients always on hand. Serve over rice and double the butter/garlic sauce so there is enough to spoon on top of rice.

Although this recipe was good, it was very heavy. i could only eat 1/2 of the smallest breast of chicken before i had to clear it away. My boyfriend liked it, but thought it was too rich as well and could only be made once in a great while. If i make it again, i will not give it the breaded topping, use a white cheese, and serve it with a tomato sauce.
