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?0

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.0
