This was an excellent dinner. I scaled it down to use 2 chicken breasts and used turkey bacon to make it a bit healthier. I served this with some brown rice for a great meal. This is a def. make again here!

Broccoli stuffed chicken always sounds good to me but it's usually when I don't have enough time to make it. I decided to give this a try since it doesn't require pan frying (extra pan to clean!). I made this even easier by using pre-cooked bacon and it took just a few min. to assemble. I also used garlic-herb flavored seasoned bread crumbs since I already had them. This was very delicious and tasted like it took some time to prepare. My daughter (not a chicken lover, and dislikes broccoli) ate hers without a complaint, so it's a "kid friendly" dish. Thanks Nonnie, for another timesaving but delicious recipe. Roxygirl
