With sharp knife, cut chicken breasts horizontally 3/4 way through meat. Open breasts, place between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound to uniform thickness.

Divide cheese equally on half of each chicken breast; fold over opposite half and press edges together to seal.

In shallow bowl, mix together egg whites, yogurt and lemon juice.

In another shallow dish, mix together ground walnuts, nutmeg and salt.

Dip chicken, one piece at a time, first in egg mixture and then in walnut mixture, turning to coat.

Arrange chicken in shallow baking dish sprayed with nonstick vegetable spray; refrigerate 20 minutes.

Place chicken in 350 °F (175°C) oven and bake about 20 minutes or until fork can be inserted with ease.

Place chicken breasts on individual serving plates and spoon on Fresh Pear Walnut Glaze. Garnish with pear slices and walnut halves; sprinkle with parsley.
