Broccoli and Cheese Stuffed Chicken

Jim and I love chicken cordon bleu! We used to buy those pre-packaged chicken cordon bleu and chicken stuffed with broccoli and cheese from the grocery store. I decided a few years ago that I could learn to make chicken cordon bleu and it was fantastic (I will upload that recipe later this week). I saw this recipe on Pinterest and had to try it. It's very good!

Broccoli and Cheese Stuffed Chicken

Ingredients:

2 chicken breasts
1 large egg
3/4 cup panko
1/4 Italian seasoned bread crumbs
2 cups broccoli floret, cooked, chopped small (I use frozen, already chopped)
3 slices provolone
salt
spray oil
toothpicks

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350°. In a small bowl, combine egg and a little salt. Beat with a fork to make an egg wash. Set aside. Fill a second bowl with breadcrumbs.
Pound chicken breasts to make cutlets (about 1/4" thick). Place a slice of cheese in the center of the chicken and top with a little broccoli. Wrap chicken around to completely cover cheese, using toothpicks to secure.
Dip chicken into egg wash, then breadcrumbs. Spray cookie sheet with oil and place chicken on cookie sheet. Lightly spray chicken with oil and bake about 25 minutes, until cooked. Top with 1/2 slice of provolone and put in oven until melted, about 2-3 minutes.
