I have the hardest time deciding what to make for dinner! So, I decided that anytime I find a good new recipe, I would share it on here with everyone (because I'm sure that there are other little housewives with the same problem!!)
A couple of nights ago I made this really easy, yet elegant
Broccoli Chicken Roll-Ups, with Fettuccine Alfredo! A great thing about this recipe is that it is easy to alter to the size of your dinner party. These ingredients are for 4 servings
Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts.
Slices of American cheese (or your preferred white cheese, I used mozzarella because I had it)
1 cup chopped fresh or frozen broccoli, thawed
Steps:
1. Flatten chicken to 1/4in thickness. (I used a kitchen meat mallet. I didn't get it to 1/4in thickness, and I wish I would have! It would have turned out better.)
2. Put a slice of cheese in the center of each chicken breast. Top with broccoli.
3. Fold chicken in half and secure with toothpicks.
4. Place on greased baking sheet. Bake, uncovered, at 350 for 40-45 minutes or until chicken juices run clear. remove toothpicks before serving. (the cookbook also suggested that if you are in a hurry you can also microwave the chicken for 4-6 minutes covered in a microwave safe dish.)
5. Pour a little alfredo sauce on top of the chicken and serve with your favorite fettuchine alfredo.
