Here is the great chicken recipe I have been talking about. very yummy and low fat.
Chicken Picante
you will need 1/3 plus 1/2 cup picante sauce (salsa any level of heat)
4 medium boneless, skinless chicken breasts
6 Tablespoons light cream cheese from a block
1/2 cup light shredded cheddar cheese

Preheat oven 350F spread 1/3 cup of picante sauce on bottom of a 9 x 13 pan. Lay chicken on cutting board and pound chicken to uniform thickness. spread chicken evenly with cream cheese, I warmed it in the microwave to make it easier to spread. Lay the chicken cream cheese up in a single layer in the prepared baking dish. Spoon the remaining 1/2 cup picante sauce on top of the chicken. cover dish with aluminum foil.

bake for 15 minutes. remove aluminum foil. sprinckle the cheddar cheese evenly over the breast. bake uncovered for another 15 to 20 minutes or until no longer pink. serve immediately.
