Stuffed Chicken: Great
This is a dish for company or just plain old get together.
Ingredients
- 4 Boneless, skinless chicken breasts pounded to 1/4 inch, pound between under cellophane or inside a Ziploc bag.
- 1 box of chicken stuffing
- 1 2/3 c. of boiling water (microwave or stove top ok)
- 1/2 stick of butter or margarine melted butter
- 1 cup of broccoli chopped
- 1/2 c. of shredded cheese
- 1/2 c. of Parmesan cheese
Method
- Preheat oven to 350 F
- Mix together stuffing, boiled water and butter or margarine (You may use healthier spreads to.).
- Then mix the stuffing, broccoli and cheeses together.
- Spread over top of pounded chicken just within a 1/4 inch of chicken.
- Roll and secure with a wooden toothpick. If there is leftover stuffing I would cook it up in microwave or stove and serve as extra with chicken or leftover.
- You may use a little Parmesan sprinkled on top with a little melted butter or melt some butter with a little bread crumbs and sprinkle over the top. You also may use canned creamed soups the last 10 minutes as a topping as well. Like cream of mushroom, cream of celery, Alfredo or creamed chicken. Any creamy soup will do. Make sure your chicken is well cooked.
- Cook for about a half hour or cut into chicken to see if juices run clear.
Note: Alternative stuffing for chicken, use either thin slices of ham, prosciutto or pepperoni with slices of mild cheese then roll and secure with a wooden toothpick cook for 30 minutes. Last 10 minutes pour some tomato sauce over the top.
Note: You may also use cooking thermometer to make sure the meat is at the right temperature.
