- For each piece of meat: Sprinkle with garlic powder, pepper and salt (if using).
- Place some green onion,and broccoli slightly off center on the chicken.
- Break up the one wedge of cheese for each piece of chicken into small pieces and place over broccoli.
- Roll up meat. tucking ends in and securing with toothpicks.
- Heat a oven proof skillet with the oil in it. Brown all sides of the chicken roll.
- Place skillet in oven and cook till chicken is done, about 30 - 45 minutes. Remove from oven and let stand for about 5 minutes, be sure to remove toothpicks before serving.
Notes
If you do not have an oven-safe skillet, after the browning step, transfer the chicken to a baking dish and proceed with the rest of the recipe.
