Stuffed Chicken Breasts

I found this on a website I really like to use for some cooking inspiration and YUM! This is soooooo tasty!

yield: 4 servings (5 ww pts per serving)

foil
cooking spray
2 chicken breasts
1 cup of small broccoli florets
4 pieces of any kind of cheese you like
seasonings (whatever you like for chicken)
toothpicks

1. lay out four square foil pieces and spray them with the cooking spray
2. take each raw chicken breast and cut it in half so it creates two thinner chicken breasts of the same width (does that make sense?)
3. lay each piece of chicken on a foil piece
4. season to your liking
5. top with cheese slice and broccoli
6. roll as tight as you can and stick with toothpicks to hold shape
7. loosely close the foil packet
8. grill/bake for about 20 minutes (or until chicken reaches 165-degrees internally)

Obviously there are a lot of variations you could do with this recipe. The original recipe used swiss cheese and did an egg wash and bread crumbs. Next time I'd probably only use half of a slice of cheese and see about added different (and more) veggies into it. I also think it'd be really tasty if you marinated the chicken breasts (after you sliced them into thinner pieces) in italian dressing and THEN stuff them. Yum! We'll definitely have this one again!
