After preparing this meal, we wondered why we don't bake meals more often. Baked dishes are so delicious, plus baking provides you with time to get something done besides cook (like study for your last exam!). This is an easy meal that ends up looking fancy, so you can cook to impress! And the extra broccoli goes great on the side.
Ingredients:
- 2 large chicken breasts
- 1 egg
- 2 tsp. water
- 3/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 frozen, steamable bag of broccoli (or 2 cups), cooked
- 4 tbsp. shredded Swiss cheese (or 2 slices)
- salt to taste
- cooking spray
- toothpicks
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a small bowl, combine egg, water, and a dash of salt. Beat mixture with a fork until well mixed. Pour breadcrumbs into another small bowl. Set both aside.
Slice each chicken breast in half lengthwise then use a meat pounder to make them thinner and therefore easier to wrap. Place 1 tbsp. of Swiss cheese (or 1/2 slice) on each piece of chicken then add some broccoli on top. Wrap each piece of chicken around the cheese and broccoli, securing with toothpicks.
Dip chicken into egg mixture then into breadcrumbs then set on a greased cookie sheet. Lightly spray chicken with cooking spray then bake for 25 minutes or until cooked.
Yield: 2 servings
