Cheese & Broccoli Stuffed Chicken by
Ingredients
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup cooked chopped broccoli
4 slices cheddar cheese (1/4”x4”)
1/8 tsp. white pepper
1/4 tsp. salt
1 cup fresh breadcrumbs
1 egg, beaten
1 tbsp. water
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 F.
Place the chicken, one piece at a time into a re-sealable plastic bag. Using a cooking mallet or heavy rolling pin, pound the chicken flat to about 1/4" thick.
Remove the chicken from the bag and sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper.
Place 2 slices of cheddar on each breast. Top each with half the broccoli. Roll up like an eggroll. Fold sides in over filling about 1/2 inch then roll front to back.
In a shallow dish, whisk the eggs and water. Spread the bread crumbs onto a flat plate. Carefully dip the chicken roll-ups in the egg whites and roll in the bread crumbs.
Place on a greased baking sheet seam side down, and bake for 30-35 minutes till nicely golden. You can also deep fry 7 – 10 min. if desired.
