For the Purim festival, everyone loves eating hamantaschen! The dough needs to be covered and chilled overnight in my experience for it to function best.
| Prep Time: | 15 mins |
| Cook Time: | 20 mins |
| Total Time: | 35 mins |
| Servings: | 3 |
Ingredients
- 1 ½ tablespoons all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- 3 thin chicken breast cutlets
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 3 wedges spreadable garlic and herb cheese (such as The Laughing Cow®), softened
- 1 cup frozen broccoli florets, thawed and finely chopped
- ¼ cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
- toothpicks
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Combine flour and paprika in a shallow bowl.
- Place chicken cutlets between two pieces of plastic wrap; pound with a mallet to a thickness of 1/4 inch. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Mash spreadable cheese with a fork in a bowl until creamy. Stir in broccoli and Cheddar until well combined. Spread mixture over the middle of each cutlet, then roll cutlets over filling and secure the edges with toothpicks. Dredge in flour mixture.
- Heat oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Place chicken into the skillet and cook until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 14 to 16 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove toothpicks before serving.
- Feel free to change up the flavor of The Laughing Cow cheese for variety.

My husband and I absolutely loved it! I do tend to add or subtract items to add my own flare to a recipe, but I believe that even if I followed it step by step it wouldn’t have changed the great taste. Instead of the salt and pepper, I used seasoned salt, garlic powder and black pepper. Instead of three laughing cow brand garlic and herb, I used five and I added a little extra sharp cheddar cheese. “My picture does not do this recipe justice”.
My mom made this for me when I was about 10-11 and i loved it so much
Delicious ! Made as written. Whole family loved it! Will make again. Thanks for the recipe!!
I adjusted the recipe for 2 ppl…and I didn’t have the butter with garlic and herbs so I melted butter with a little garlic powder and minced garlic…. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! I had left over filling so I made white rice and mixed the filling in with the white rice
super easy to make if i make it again i would add some more seasoning to jazz it up a bit…
amazing!
I used Philadelphia Garlic & Herb because I couldn’t find the Laughing Cow. I also had Cheddar Cheese Slices so I used them in addition to the grated cheese. It was excellent & my husband loved it.
It was delicious… I had to use Alouette Garlic and herb cheese, after it was finished baking I placed on a bed of rice… Next time I make this recipe I think I will just slice the chicken breast and stuffed with mixture instead of rolled it… thank you for the recipe!
I mostly used it as inspiration. Instead of the laughing cow cheese, I made a bechamel sauce with garlic and parsley. Instead of cheddar I used mozzarella. Instead of frozen broccoli I used fresh and blanched briefly before chopping. I had no toothpicks, and it really, really helps to use them. Other then that I pretty much followed the intent and timing of the recipe. Dee-Lish!
It’s simple and tastes good. I think the seasoning could be improved on but the time and instructions were spot on.
This is a really good recipe. I prepared it as written, and the only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars, I found it a little salty for my taste. Next time I will not salt the breasts prior to browning. The cheeses have enough salt. Definitely a keeper!
This was a good recipe, I made it as directed except didn’t find laughing cow cheese so I substituted alouette garlic and herb cheese spread, fresh broccoli rather than frozen, I’ll definitely make it again.
outstanding. I have made this several times and always with excellent results.
This will definatly be a regular dinner at my house! It was so quick, and easy, and even my picky eaters ate it they didn’t even realize there was vegetables inside. Lol
It turned out great! I had to use garden vegetable cream cheese instead of the cheese wedges but it was still unbelievably good.
It turned out really good . I used mozzarella cheese with mine .
