Chicken Stuffed with Broccoli and Goat Cheese Recipe

Ingredients:

4 chicken breasts, skinless and boneless
1/2 cup (125 mL) plain goat cheese (cream cheese can also be used)
2 cups (500 mL) frozen broccoli florets
2 tbsp (30 mL) vegetable oil
1 bottle VH® Sweet & Sour Sauce

  Place 1 chicken breast between 2 large pieces of plastic wrap, carefully pound chicken breast with the flat side of a meat tenderizer or rolling pin. Flatten breast to a thickness of 1/2 com (1/4 inch), taking care not to tear the chicken. Repeat with remaining chicken breasts.

  Place broccoli in a small glass and add just enough water to cover the florets, microwave for 4 minutes. Drain and chop finely. Stir warm broccoli into goat cheese until well combined.

  Place 1/4 of the cheese mixture at the base of the first piece of chicken, carefully roll the meat over the cheese, tucking in the sides to enclose the cheese. Use 2-3 toothpicks to secure. Repeat with remaining 3 breasts.

  In a large sauté pan heat oil over medium-high, brown chicken on all sides, about 7 minutes. Add VH® Sweet & Sour Sauce to the pan along with 1/4 cup (60 mL) water. Cover and simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 12 minutes.

  Slice chicken and serve with sauce poured over top.
