I am not sure where this recipe comes from other than the Internet (since it is a print out). I have no fun or crazy story to tell about this one. I'll have to work on that :)
Ingredients
- 6 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (2 1/4 pounds)
- 4 oz (1/2 package) 1/2 less fat cream cheese
- 1 package frozen chopped broccoli, thawed (I used 10 oz as my "package")
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar
- 2 tablespoons seasoned bread crumbs (I used 4C Whole Wheat version)
- 1.2 teaspoon each salt & pepper
- Egg noddles (optional, which I didn't use)
- HEAT over to 350.
- REMOVEtenders from chicken; reserve for another use (my package already had them removed so I skipped this step).
- CUT a pocket into the breasts, cutting into but no through.
- SOFTEN cream cheese slightly (I used my cool microwave feature for that)
- COMBINE broccoli, both cheeses, bread crumbs and 1/4 teaspoon each of the salt & pepper.
- STUFF a scant 1/3 cup into each chickien breast.
- SECURE with toothpicks
- SEASON chicken with remaining 1/2 teaspoon each of salt & pepper (I forget that step, oops)
BROWN chicken over medium-high heat in two batches in a nonstick skillet for 3 minutes ( I totally screwed this step up)- TRANSFER chicken to a baking dish.
- BAKE at 350 for 30 minutes, until cooked through.
- SERVE with egg noodles alongside, if desired (I did rice instead since I had just gotten this fancy dancy one)
Results: It was good. A little dry though. I probably should have covered them with foil to keep it moist. It also was a lot of prep work; not a meal that I would do often.
