Broccoli and Cheese Stuffed Chicken

This is another recipe I found from my new favorite cooking blog, skinnytaste.com.  I especially loved this recipe because I had everything on hand in my pantry.  This is a definite plus for budget cooking too!  I hope you enjoy!
  • 3 chicken breasts cut into 2-3 tenders and pounded thin
  • 5 slices of Swiss cheese
  • 2 cups cooked broccoli, chopped
  • 1 egg
  • Whole wheat bread crumbs (or similar)
  • salt & pepper
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Cut chicken breasts into 2 or three tenderloins by slicing them thin and then pounding them to an even thickness.  Place 1/2 slice of Swiss cheese on chicken breast and and top with a large spoonful of broccoli.  Roll chicken up and secure using toothpicks (Use as many as necessary to secure the broccoli from falling out.)
  2. Place one egg, scrambled in a shallow bowl and mix with about 1 tbsp water.  Pour breadcrumbs into another shallow bowl and salt & pepper to taste.  Dip chicken into egg mixture and then immediately into breadcrumbs, coating completely.
  3. Place on baking sheet covered in aluminum foil.  Repeat with all chicken pieces.  Bake for 20-25 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
