My husband saw a frozen version of this in the freezer section at the grocery, I turned it over to look at the fat and caloric count and quickly told him NO...I decided that I would make a healthier low-fat version. Ingredients:
1 cup miracle whip light |
10 ounces fresh broccoli, steamed and chopped (you can use frozen, i prefer fresh) |
1 cup of grated parmesan cheese |
1/2 cup of shredded reduced-fat mozzarella cheese |
1/2 cup shredded colby-monterey jack cheese |
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (cleaned) |
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped |
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil |
1 teaspoon paprika |
1 teaspoon italian seasoning |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. To prepare broccoli stuffing, combine broccoli, Miracle Whip, parmesan and mozzarella cheeses in a bowl.
3. Lightly mix and place in a baking dish that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking oil.
4. Place in oven and bake for 15 minutes.
5. To prepare chicken, cut a slit down the middle of the breast almost all the way through.
6. Take your extra virgin olive oil, garlic, and spices and place them in a frying pan (heat on medium).
7. You will want to cook the chicken in the pan for at least 10-12 minutes on each side until the breast are no longer pink.
8. Let chicken breast and stuffing cool (KEEP OVEN AT 350°F).
9. Stuff chicken breast with the broccoli and cheese stuffing (heaped).
10. Place in a baking dish that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking oil, and sprinkle the Colby-Jack cheese over them.
11. Cover with foil and place in oven for 35-40 minutes.
