As a busy mom, I'm always on the look out for ways to make dinner prep quick and easy. Like most of you, dinner time is the busiest time of the day at our house. The big kids need help with homework, the little ones are getting tired and cranky and I'm trying to divide myself between meeting all of their needs, cooking dinner and trying to make the house look a little less like a tornado just hit. Sound familiar? I got together with some friends last week and we spent the morning putting together some meals. Best. Thing. Ever. We all went home with six healthy, homemade dinners just waiting to be put in the oven. It was amazing!! Dinner time has been such a breeze. I could totally get used to this. Anyway, this recipe right here is one that my friend made. If you aren't able to make it ahead of time, it still comes together fairly quickly and we all loved it!
Ingredients
4 very thin boneless, skinless chicken breast
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded*
1 cup broccoli, chopped into very small pieces
Season to taste with sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika
1/2 tbsp olive oil
toothpicks
*If you are following the 21 Day Fix eating plan, use one blue container of cheese for each chicken breast.
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place chicken breasts in a baking dish, make sure they are very thin. Season chicken with sea salt, pepper, garlic powder and paprika. Sprinkle cheddar cheese over chicken breasts, save a little to add to the top after you fold them. Place a scoop of chopped broccoli on top of the cheese. Fold your chicken breasts in half and secure with 2-3 toothpicks each. Brush the tops of the chicken breasts with olive oil and sprinkle with additional seasoning. Cover baking dish with tin foil and place in the oven. Cook for about 30 minutes or until chicken is fully cooked. Remove tin foil and sprinkle chicken with the remaining cheese. Bake uncovered for an additional 5 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
