Ok...I had been fiddling around with this idea for a couple of days. I wanted something like a chicken cordon bleu, but with broccoli and swiss. I also had some bacon that needed to be used up and this is the end result.
Ingredients:
1 boneless skinless chicken breast
1 bunch fresh broccoli
1-2 slices of domestic swiss cheese, sliced thin to medium
1-2 slices of bacon, uncooked
1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
black pepper
garlic powder
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
herbs de provance
Directions:
Slice the chicken in half, but not completely. Place the chicken between a folded piece of clear wrap or parchment paper. Grab a meat tenderizer and pound the chickken breast until it is about 1/4 inch thick. Take the broccoli and cut the florets off. Set them aside. Take the stalks and julianne cut them as thin as you can get them. Place the swiss cheese on the chicken and then place the broccoli spears on top of it. Roll everything up as tight as possible. Take the bacon and roll it around the chicken breast. brocc
Take the panko bread crumbs, add in the spices and toss to mix. Place them onto a spare plate and coat the chicken breast with the seasoned bread crumbs. Make sure every inch is coated. Bake in over at 350 for about 15-20 mins or deep fry for about 10 mins or until a nice brown colour. Serve with the left over broccoli florets, steamed rice or other veggie of your choice.
