Broccoli Feta Chicken Rolade

This is a great way to fancy up dinner. The stuffing is also great in potatoes for you vegetarians out there. HEALTH BENEFITS: The highest concentrated nutrient in broccoli is vitamin C. Just 1cup of broccoli contains 206 percent of the recommended daily value of vitamin C based on a 2000 calorie diet. By comparison, 1 cup of orange juice contains only 160 percent. Vitamin C is rich in antioxidants which boost your immune system. Using broccoli to obtain a good blood level of vitamin C will help keep away the common cold. Incorporating broccoli into your diet will improve your gastrointestinal health in several ways. It’s rich in both soluble and insoluble fibre. (You need both types) The fibre in broccoli will help to regulate your digestive system and relieve ailments such as constipation and irritable bowel syndrome. If you are suffering from high levels of acidity, the magnesium in broccoli can help to regulate this.

Broccoli Feta Chicken Rolade

Ingredients

For 4 people ()

  • 4 cloves of garlic
  • 4 cup(s) finaly chopped broccoli
  • 1 teaspoon(s) red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon(s) nutmeg
  • 1 cup(s) feta cheese crumbled
  • 1 cup(s) feta cheese crumbled
  • 4 small chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon(s) grape seed oil

Directions

  1. In a large pot on high saute the garlic, onion , red pepper flakes and nutmeg until garlic is golden. Add the broccoli and saute for a few minutes. Add a splash of wime if you like at this time to deglaze the pan. Add water bring to a boil and reduce the heat to allow to simmer uncover till most of the water has evaporated. 8-10 min. Set aside.

  2. Lay a long piece of plastic wrap over your cutting board and tuck it underneath the sides of the board. (Covering the chicken with the plastic will also keep the mess down when you pound with the meat mallet.) The chicken breasts should be placed on the covered cutting board, skin side down, with enough space between them so they can lay flat after you "butterfly" them. To make the butterfly cut, carefully slice open (without slicing the chicken all the way through) and spread the flesh of the chicken out so you will be able to pound it out into a single thin piece on which you will place stuffing and then roll up. Season the breasts with salt and pepper. Then put another length of plastic wrap over the seasoned chicken breasts and flatten with meat mallet to integrate the seasoning into the chicken. Pound chicken thin.
  3. Add the feta to the broccoli mixture. Add salt and pepper to taste. 
  4. Roll mixture into the butterflied chicken and secure with a tooth pick. Wrap in bacon if desired. 
  5. Brown chicken on all side in a hot pan. 
  6. Place browned rolades in a shallow backing dish and finish for 30 min at 350f
  7.
