Chicken Stuffed with Broccolini & Cheese Recipe 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

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (6 ounces each)
8 Broccolini stalks or 2/3 cup chopped fresh broccoli
1/2 cup shredded Italian cheese blend
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon paprika
2 egg whites
1 tablespoon fat-free milk
3/4 cup panko (Japanese) bread crumbs
1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
Olive oil-flavored cooking spray

Steps:

  • Flatten chicken to 1/2-in. thickness. Place two stalks of broccolini lengthwise down the center of each chicken breast; sprinkle with 2 tablespoons cheese. Fold over and secure with toothpicks.
  • Combine the flour, salt, garlic powder, pepper and paprika in a shallow bowl. In a separate shallow bowl, whisk egg whites and milk. In another shallow bowl, combine bread crumbs and parsley. Coat chicken with flour mixture, dip in egg white mixture, then coat with crumb mixture.
  • Place on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Spritz tops of chicken with cooking spray. Bake, uncovered, at 450° for 15-20 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 170°. Discard toothpicks.
  • Yield: 4 servings.
