Broccoli Cheese Stuffed Chicken With Spinach Patties

"I came up with this the other night as I had some left over broccoli and prosciutto to use up and they turned out really well. It is not a quick meal like the ones I have been posting lately as you have to stuff the chicken and make the mixture for the spinach so it has a lot more prep time in it. I would say about 30 minutes on the prep longer if you make it for more than 2 people I was only making it for my hubby and I. Cooking time is 30-35 minutes to cook chicken in the oven, the patties can be made while chicken is baking."
