I grew up in Texas. I met the love of my life in college. I didn't realize he was the love of my life until 10 years later!!! We are having an amazing life together. I couldn't ask for more! We have a lab mix named Chance. We rescued him from a local Humane Society. We are currently living in Boston.We miss Texas & our family and friends very much. I love my Mexican food! I have to have it every time we are in Texas.

Broccoli and Cheese Stuffed Chicken

I made these a few weeks ago & they turned out so much better than I thought!! I do realize that I'll need to buy chicken that is already cut thinly because I didn't do a great job cutting them myself. This recipe is adapted from Skinnytaste. I've made a few other things from this website and all have tasted much better than I thought. Here you go:
Ingredients:
  • 3 large chicken breast halves (I used regular chicken breasts, which is a bad idea unless you know how to cut)
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tsp water
  • 3/4 cup of bread crumbs (I used Progresso Italian)
  • 2 cups broccoli florets, cooked, chopped small
  • 5 slices reduced fat Swiss cheese
  • salt
  • spray oil (I used Pam Original)
  • toothpicks (or something to hold the breasts together)
Preheat the oven to 350. In a bowl, combine: egg, eater and a little salt. Beat with a fork to make an egg wash. Fill another bowl with the bread crumbs. Slice chicken into thin cutlets. (I tried to pound the chicken and it made them a little thinner, but not as thin as I'd liked)
Fold each slice of in half and tear, so you have 2 pieces. Place 1/2 slice of cheese onto each chicken piece and add broccoli ontop of the cheese. Wrap chicken around to completely cover the cheese, using toothpicks to secure. Season with salt.
Spray cookie sheet with oil. Dip chicken into egg wash then bread crumbs. Shake off excess bread crumbs. Put chicken onto cookie sheet. Lightly spray chicken with oil and bake about 25 minutes or until cooked.

I used the extra broccoli as a side. I forgot to take a picture of it on the plate, so here it is right out of the oven.

Enjoy!!
