My GFS store was out of the Broccoli-Cheese stuffed chicken that I like
so, I decided to make my own. Sheesh! I think I'll go back to buying.
These were good. But, a lot more work than I had planned on. Not too
awful - but, still, I'm basically lazy in my old age. Bv)=

Title: Broccoli & Cheese Stuffed Chicken Breasts
Categories: Poultry, Vegetables, Cheese, Breads
Yield: 4 servings
4 sl Medium-sharp Cheddar
4 sl Emmenthal (Swiss) cheese
3/4 c Chopped broccoli
4 Boned, skinned chicken
- breasts or thighs
1/2 c A-P Flour
1 lg Egg
1 tb Water
1/2 c Panko
Set oven @ 350ºF/175ºC.
If your chicken is on the thick side, you’ll first want
to butterfly it to give yourself more surface area to
work with as you wrap it around the filling. Spray a
cookie sheet with non-stick cooking spray for easy
chicken removal. A pizza stone will also work for baking
the stuffed chicken.
Layer all 4 slices of Cheddar on top of each other, and
slice vertically into four even rectangle cheese stacks.
Take one of the rectangle cheese stacks and place it in
the center of a whole slice of Swiss. Place some of the
chopped broccoli on and around the Cheddar cheese stack,
and wrap the Swiss around both, creating a small packet.
Place the cheese and broccoli ‘packet’ in the center of
a flattened chicken breast, then wrap the chicken around
it, securing the edges of the chicken together with
toothpicks. Repeat for the remaining chicken breasts.
Prepare 3 bowls for the breading process. Place the
flour in one, egg wash in the second (the egg and water,
beaten), and the breadcrumbs in the third. Dredge the
chicken in flour, egg wash, and then breadcrumbs before
placing seam-side up on a pizza stone or cookie sheet.
Bake in the oven for about 25-30 minutes. Don’t forget
to remove the toothpicks before serving!
NOTE: You may not need to use the entire 3/4 cup of
chopped broccoli. It will depend on how large your
chicken pieces are. Don’t worry about trying to stuff
in more that can fit into your chicken.
