I came up with this entree one day when I was looking for something new and interesting to serve guests. The sausage makes the chicken even more hearty and satisfying.

Ingredients

2 packages (10 ounces each) frozen broccoli spears, thawed and drained
1 pound bulk pork sausage
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
Salt and pepper to taste
1 egg
8 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed cream of chicken and mushroom soup, undiluted

Directions

Place broccoli in an ungreased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish; set aside. In a large skillet, brown sausage and onion until sausage is no longer pink; drain. Remove from the heat. Add cheese, crumbs, salt, pepper and egg; mix well. Flatten each chicken breast to 1/4-in. thickness. Place about 1/3 cup mixture down center of each chicken breast. Fold long ends over filling; fold ends up and secure with a toothpick. Place chicken, seam side down, on top of broccoli; spread soup over all. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 40-50 minutes. Remove toothpicks before serving.

This was yummy! Although I didn't have some of the same ingredients, I substituted for the many of the ingredients.I used Broccoli Cheese soup instead of Cream of Mushroom.I used a package of frozen mixed veggies.I used plain oatmeal instead of bread crumbs.It turned out great & we had no leftovers!
