Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. Prepare the chicken breasts by pounding them to an even 1/2-inch thickness for uniform cooking.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the drained tuna, crabmeat, cottage cheese, ricotta, and Laughing Cow Light Cheese slices.
  4. Mix in the liquid egg substitute and a splash of fat-free sour cream to bind the filling together.
  5. Season the mixture with salt, pepper, and Italian herbs to taste.
  6. Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish and spoon the seafood mixture evenly over each breast.
  7. Top each serving with part-skim mozzarella cheese sticks or shredded reduced-fat cheese.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  9. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set.
