This is seriously the easiet, most delicious meal I have made in awhile.

Yields: 4 servings
Calories: 322
Carbs: 10g
Fat: 8g
Protein: 44g
Sodium: 782 mg (this will be reduced greatly if you use the breadcrumb version)

Remember: these numbers are entirely dependent on the brand you use

4 6oz chicken breasts
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 cups broccoli, chopped small then steamed
Parmesan crusted shake n bake (For a healthier version instead of the "cheating" version, use italian bread crumbs and one egg white)

Pound the chicken flat, so it's about 1/2" thick with a large surface area. By pounding the chicken, you will also make it very tender once cooked.

Top chicken with 1/4 c. shredded cheese and 1/4 c. steamed broccoli. (broccoli will reduce in volume once steamed)

Roll the chicken up and secure with toothpicks - approximately 4 toothpicks per breast.

Coat chicken with the shake n bake (or dip chicken in egg white, then roll in bread crumbs) and place on a foil lined baking sheet. (By lining the baking sheet, you are seriously cutting back on your post-dinner clean up).

Cook 35-40 minutes at 350 degrees.

Enjoy!

    wow, i will give this a try! Does the chicken have to be only one layer thick, when you roll it up, to cook through?

    I'll have to try it with broccoli and cheese sometime. I make a similar recipe and substitute the broccoli and cheese with sauteed onions, mushrooms and spinach. I love that stuffed chicken can be done with anything. To add a little flavor to it instead of bread crumbs, I've done it wrapped in bacon (obviously turkey bacon would be a better choice), but it only takes a slice or two and it tastes amazing! Depending on the ingredients you chose, the calories should be fairly comparable too.

    Saving! If we did no bread crumbs, do you know about how much less the calorie count would be?
