  • In a small bowl, combine egg, water and a little salt and beat with a fork; set aside. Fill a second bowl with breadcrumbs.

  • Roll the chicken around to completely cover cheese, using toothpicks to secure the ends, if needed.

CHICKEN STUFFED WITH BROCCOLINI & CHEESE



Chicken Stuffed with Broccolini & Cheese image

My version of Chicken Cordon Bleu uses broccolini in the filling and panko for crunch. Broccolini looks like small broccoli, but we think it's a little sweeter and more tender. -Cher Schwartz, Ellisville, Missouri

BROCCOLI-CHEDDAR STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS



Broccoli-Cheddar Stuffed Chicken Breasts image

I've taken the classic flavors of broccoli Cheddar soup and transformed them into a filling for baked chicken breasts. But feel free to grab whatever cheese, herbs and spices you've got and use those instead. This recipe would also work great with cauliflower and/or any type of cheese that has a decent melt factor. Firmer cheeses like Parmesan and Gruyère would be welcome additions, but I'd steer clear of anything that's extra-soft (think Brie or mascarpone) because we want the filling to stay intact.

Provided by Kelly Senyei

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 cups broccoli florets (see Cook's Note)
1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
2 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives or other fresh herbs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (see Cook's Note)
Garlic powder, ground cumin or other spices
4 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F.
  • Place the broccoli in a microwave-safe bowl then add 2 tablespoons water. Cover the bowl (a large plate works best) then microwave for 2 minutes. Remove the broccoli to paper towels, drain very well and let cool slightly.
  • Chop the broccoli into small, pea-sized pieces then return it to the bowl. Add the Cheddar, cream cheese, chives, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Stir until well combined.
  • Arrange the chicken breasts on a cutting board, and using a sharp knife, cut a deep pocket horizontally into each chicken breast without cutting all the way through to the other side.
  • Divide the broccoli mixture among the chicken breasts, pressing it firmly into each pocket.
  • Season the outsides of the chicken breasts on both sides with garlic powder, salt, pepper and any other preferred spices.
  • Divide the olive oil among two ovenproof skillets set over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add 2 of the chicken breasts to each skillet. Cook the chicken until seared on one side, about 3 minutes, then flip it once and cook until seared on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Transfer the skillets to the oven and continue cooking the chicken breasts until the thickest part of each breast reaches 165 degrees F, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Remove the chicken breasts from the oven and serve.

I was born in 1936 to a family of eight. Much of our food came from our garden and the henhouse at the back of our city lot.

2 tablespoons butter

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: For this recipe, it's best to use a whole chicken that is about 3-4 pounds. This will ensure that the chicken is large enough to be stuffed with the broccolini and cheese mixture.
  • Prepare the chicken: Before stuffing the chicken, you need to remove the backbone. This can be done with a sharp knife or kitchen shears. Once the backbone is removed, rinse the chicken inside and out and pat it dry.
  • Make the stuffing: The stuffing for this recipe is made with broccolini, cheese, bread crumbs, and seasonings. To make the stuffing, simply chop the broccolini and cheese and mix it with the bread crumbs and seasonings.
  • Stuff the chicken: Once the stuffing is made, you can stuff it into the chicken cavity. To do this, simply use your hands to gently pack the stuffing into the chicken. Make sure to not overstuff the chicken, as this will make it difficult to cook evenly.
  • Roast the chicken: Once the chicken is stuffed, you can roast it in the oven. To do this, preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and place the chicken in a roasting pan. Roast the chicken for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

Conclusion:

This chicken stuffed with broccolini and cheese is a delicious and easy-to-make recipe that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is juicy and flavorful, and the stuffing is creamy and cheesy. This recipe is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
