Italian Cheese Chicken Roll-Ups - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 cup shredded light mozzarella cheese, divided
    2 ounces light cream cheese, softened
    1/4 cup finely chopped red pepper
    1/4 cup chopped oregano leaves
    1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
    4 small boneless skinless chicken breast halves, pounded to 1/4-inch thickness (1 lb.)
    1 cup spaghetti sauce or 1 cup tomato sauce
Preparation
    PREHEAT oven to 400\u00b0F.
    Mix 1/2 cup of the shredded cheese, the cream cheese, peppers, oregano and garlic salt until well blended.
    Shape into 4 logs.
    Place 1 log on one of the short ends of each chicken breast; press into chicken lightly.
    Roll up each chicken breast tightly, tucking in ends of chicken around filling to completely enclose filling.
    PLACE, seam-sides down, in 13x9-inch baking dish sprayed with cooking spray. Spoon spaghetti or tomato sauce evenly over chicken; cover with foil.
    BAKE 35 minute or until chicken is cooked through (170\u00b0F).
    Remove foil; sprinkle chicken with remaining 1/2 cup shredded cheese.
    Bake an additional 3 to 5 minute or until cheese is melted.
