This recipe for Skinny Broccoli and Cheese Stuffed Chicken combines two of my favorites…chicken and The Laughing Cow Cheese! Since making this recipe, I have come up with so many other ingredient combinations for chicken that I will make sure to share in the coming weeks. The trick to making this recipe work is to make the chicken cutlets as thin as possible, making the chicken easier to roll up. You will also need a few toothpicks to keep the cutlets tightly rolled during cook time in the oven.
Makes 6 Servings
Ingredients:
- 3 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1-2 cups cooked chopped broccoli
- 3 wedges of The Laughing Cow Cheese (I used the original flavor)
- 1/4 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs
- 1 Tbsp Italian Seasoning
- 1 tsp pepper
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 egg whites
- 6 toothpicks
- Spray Oil (optional)
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Wash and dry the chicken breasts. Slice the chicken breasts length wise into two equal sized cutlets. You should have 6 cutlets.
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Place egg whites in a shallow dish and set aside.
- Mix Panko bread crumbs, whole wheat bread crumbs, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper in a separate shallow dish and set aside.
- Open The Laughing Cow Cheese wedges and separate into 6 equal pieces. Spread one piece of The Laughing Cow Cheese onto chicken cutlet. Add the cooked broccoli on top of the cheese. Roll chicken cutlet as tight as possible. Secure with 1-2 toothpicks.
- Next, take the secured cutlet filled with cheese and broccoli and brush lightly with egg whites. Immediately, place chicken cutlet into bread crumb mixture to cover. Place secured chicken cutlet, seam-side down, onto cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Repeat steps with other chicken cutlets. Spray chicken cutlets lightly with spray oil.
- Bake chicken cutlets for 20-25 minutes until done. Serve with left over broccoli and brown rice.

Hi, I found this recipe on Pinterest and can’t wait to try it! Just wondering if you thought this was freeze-able, perhaps before cooking?
I’m a single girl and often find that most recipes make way too much food for me to finish in a week! Thanks!
Doesn’t the cooked broccoli get too soft in the final result? Wouldn’t using raw/uncooked broccoli work just as well? So there’s still some crunch. Sounds and looks good.
I’m getting 5 weight watchers points per breast…does this match anyone’s calculations?
Looks delicious, was just wondering what are your suggestions for the breadcrumbs for people with coeliac? There are gluten free breadcrumbs but I’m not familiar with panko.
