Broccoli & Cheese stuffed Chicken with Garlic Roasted Red Potatoes

This dish was so good, I could have had 2nds and 3rds but decided not to blow my new healthy eating on a stuffed potato. *sigh* It was delish and hard to resist though!

Broccoli & Cheese Stuffed Chicken
by Gina's Weight Watchers Recipes

Makes- 6 pieces :: Time- 40 minutes
  • 3 chicken breast halves
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tsp water
  • 3/4 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
  • 2 cups broccoli floret, cooked, chopped small
  • 5 slices reduced fat Swiss cheese (I used Lacy Suiss)
  • salt
  • spray oil
  • toothpicks
- Preheat oven to 350°.

- In a small bowl, combine egg, water and a little salt.

-
Beat with a fork to make an egg wash. Set aside.

- Fill a second bowl with breadcrumbs.

- Slice chicken breast halves into thin cutlets. Pound them to make them thinner if you wish. This helps when you wrap the cutlets.

- Cut each slice of cheese in half.

-
Place a 1/2 slice cheese in the center of the chicken and top with a little broccoli.

-
Wrap chicken around to completely cover cheese, using toothpicks to secure. Season with a little salt.

- Dip chicken into egg wash, then breadcrumbs.

-
Spray cookie sheet with oil and place chicken on cookie sheet.

- Bake about 25 minutes, until cooked
