Broccoli & Cheese Stuffed Chicken

Food

Ingredients

2 cups (~190g) broccoli florets, finely chopped

8 thin chicken breast cutlets, about 3-4 oz each

1 large egg

2 tsp water

pinch of salt

3/4 cup (84g) breadcrumbs

8 oz cheddar cheese, sliced & divided by ounce

Directions

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) or air fryer to 400°F (200°C).

Place broccoli in a microwave safe bowl with 1 tbsp water; cover and cook 1 min, until soft. Drain and season with 1/4 tsp salt.

In a small bowl, beat together the egg, 2 tsp water & pinch of salt; set aside.

If chicken isn’t already 1/4-inch thin, pound out with mallet. Season both sides of chicken with salt.

Place 1 oz cheese slice in center of chicken and top with 2 tbsp broccoli. Roll the chicken up to completely cover filling, using toothpicks to secure ends as needed.

Dip chicken into the egg wash, then breadcrumbs, then transfer to a baking sheet or air fryer. In oven, bake about 25 min. In air fryer, cook in batches about 14-16 min, turning halfway, until chicken is cooked through.
