1 stalk fresh broccoli
6 slices deli ham (1/8" thick, approx.)
6 slices cheese
6 strips leftover cooked chicken (1/2 x 1/2 x 4 long approx.)
horseradish sauce (optional)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut broccoli florets off the stalk. Boil in water for about 5 minutes. You want them about half way done. Spray a baking dish with non-stick spray. Roll 2-3 broccoli florets and 1 piece of chicken in the cheese, then roll everything in the ham. Place seam side down in baking dish. After all six slices have been rolled, bake for about 15 minutes or until cheese has melted and the dish is hot. Top with just a slight coating of horseradish sauce. Serves 2 - 3
Martha: I found the basic recipe for this in a 1974 cookbook. The original called for broccoli, ham and Swiss cheese. I made mine 4 different ways. 2 had Swiss cheese, 2 had cheddar cheese, 1 had Swiss cheese with chicken and 1 had cheddar cheese with chicken. The original didn't call for the horseradish sauce but I thought it would be a great addition and believe me it was! This is an easy, quick dish to make. It's something you can whip up in no time and have not only a tasty dish but a healthy one too. Now for changes - try covering the dish with Alfredo sauce when baking.
