Ingredients
- 3 (24 oz total) large chicken breast halves
- 1 large egg
- 2 tsp water
- 3/4 cup whole wheat seasoned breadcrumbs
- 2 cups broccoli floret, cooked, chopped small
- 5 slices reduced fat Swiss cheese (I used Lacy Swiss)
- salt
- spray oil
- toothpicks
Directions
-
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. I usually get 3 thin cutlets out of one breast half. 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. Lightly spray chicken with oil and bake about 25 minutes, until cooked.
