Ingredients
- 1.5 pds thin boneless skinless chicken breast cutlets 6 total
- 1.5 C mozzarella cheese shredded
- ½ C ricotta cheese
- ¼ C parmesan cheese grated
- 1 egg
- 1 C precooked broccoli diced small
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- black pepper & paprika to taste
- 1.5 C prepared alfredo sauce
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°
- Oil or spray with nonstick spray a 11x7 baking dish
- Pound thin the chicken breasts using a meat mallet. If you cannot find thin chicken breasts, you can slice regular breasts horizontally and then pound thin. 3 large breasts will then make 6 thin breasts.
- In a medium bowl combine 1 cup of the mozzarella with all remaining ingredients through the garlic powder. Stir to mix evenly.
- For each thin breast, top with the cheese mixture and leave one end of the chicken plain to use at the end and bottom seam.
- From the cheese end of the breast, roll towards the plain side and place in a baking dish with seam side down. Roll all 6 and then add salt, pepper, and paprika.
- Bake 20 minutes.
- Remove from oven and top with the alfredo sauce and the remaining ½ cup of mozzarella. Put back in the oven for an additional 15 minutes or until a meat thermometer registers 165°.
- Let rest for about 5 minutes for the cheeses to set before plating. Enjoy!
