I love making stuffed chicken breasts, especially when entertaining. The presentation is great. But when I’m not worried about presentation, I take the easy way out. Here’s how I do it and it tastes delicious without any of the fuss.
Deconstructed Broccoli & Cheese Stuffed Chicken Breasts
Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Salt & pepper, to taste
- 2 tbsp butter or margarine
- 2 tbsp flour
- 1 1/4 cup milk
- 1 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, cubed or shredded
- 2 cup frozen broccoli
- 1/2 tsp thyme
- 2 tbsp butter or margarine
- 1 cup breadcrumps
Instructions
- Season chicken with salt and pepper. Place in small casserole dish (8×8 or 9×9).
- In a small saucepan, melt 2 T. butter or margarine over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook for 2 minutes. Whisk in milk, bring to a boil and cook until thickened to gravy consistency. Remove from heat. Stir in cheese until melted. Add the broccoli. Season with salt, pepper and thyme. Pour over chicken.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
- Melt 2 T. butter or margarine and combine with breadcrumbs. Sprinkle over chicken and return to the oven. Bake for 5-10 minutes, or until browned and chicken is fully cooked.
