Number Of Ingredients 10

6 small boneless skinless chicken breasts (1-1/2 lb.), pounded to 1/4-inch thickness
1 tsp. dried Italian seasoning
3/4 cup loosely packed fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup loosely packed fresh parsley
1/3 cup dried apricots
1/4 cup slivered almonds
2 cloves garlic, quartered
2 Tbsp. KRAFT 100% Grated Parmesan and Romano Cheese
2 Tbsp. oil
1/4 cup apricot preserves, melted

Steps:

  • Heat greased grill to medium heat.
  • Place chicken, top sides down, on cutting board; sprinkle with Italian seasoning.
  • Blend all remaining ingredients except preserves in blender until smooth; spread onto chicken to within 1/2 inch of sides. Fold in both long sides of each chicken breast, then roll up starting at one short end. Secure with wooden toothpicks.
