    So I found this recipe for chicken stuffed with cream cheese and herbs and I was thinking of using chipotle laughing cow cheese instead of cream cheese. Does laughing cow melt well or will it turn out all gross? Has anyone cooked with laughing cow?

    @Aure:SWEET! Thank you :) I didn't want to use cream cheese since I know it separates and gets kind of gross.

    @Corilee13: I don't see why you could't...

    Have you ever tried the Philly cream cheese cooking cream? It is similar and is for cooking..unless you are trying to be super healthy. :) Let us know if laughing cow works...

    HungryGirl uses it in a lot of her recipes, that's how I found out that it was cooking safe. Mmm, love Laughing Cow.

    @soyjoy222:I haven't yet. I've wanted to, but it seemed a little thin for what I wanted to do today.

    I will let you all know how my chicken turns out :)

    Thank you ladies!

    @Corilee13: Awesome! Haha I'll hit the road right away. :)

    But seriously, good luck with the recipe. If it turns out amazing, I might have to steal it.

    That sounds so good! I am going to have to try using it for cooking as we always have a massive amount in the house (sam's club). I tried the Philly cooking cream and was not impressed. IMO a better cream sauce can be made with cream, garlic, and 20 mins lol.

    @Mrs.ChubbyBunny: I'm glad to know its not that great. I wanted to try it, but I looked at the nurtition facts and put it away, figuring I could make something similar

    @Mrs.ChubbyBunny:@MrsSl82be: I've been dying to try it, but my FI always turns to me and asks how many WW points are in a serving when I pick something like that up. He's always genuinely curious but it makes me realize that it probably doesn't fit into my points budget for the day. :( I'm glad to hear it's not great, I keep looking at it lustfully when we pass the creamcheese section.

    @MrsSl82be: yeah... FI is the manager of a dairy department here and if he had not got it for free, I would have been mad that I wasted the money on it. It just lacks flavor and zest for the amount of calories in it. If I am going to indulge and clog my arteries it needs to be amazing.

    Alrighty since you all wanted to know what I did and how it turned out.

    I did this with boneless skinless chicken thighs, but you can use whatever.

    I used the chipotle laughing cow cheese and since I LOVE spicy food I added crushed red pepper and a little cayenne and some garlic. I spread that on the inside of the chicken thighs and folded them shut and laid them in a baking dish

    Then I brushed them with olive oil and sprinkled on a few herbs (thyme, savory, marjoram) and a little paprika.

    Baked them covered, at 350, for 20 or so minutes until they were just this side of done and then put them under the broiler for a few minutes to brown the tops.

    Served with roasted garlic parmesan mashed red potatoes.

    Yummy!
