Deep Dish Covered Baker Rolled Up Chicken

What you Need:

4-5 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts, Depending on who your cooking for!( pounded to an even thinness)
1 1/2 Cups of Prepared Mashed Potatoes
2 Cups Steamed Broccoli ( I used the kind in the steamer bags)
1/2 Cups Shredded Cheddar cheese
1/2 Cup Flour
1/4 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Pepper
1 Beaten Egg
1 1/2 Cups Bread Crumbs
1 Packet Ranch Dressing Seasoning Mix

Place pounded chicken breasts onto a cutting board.

Using a Food Chopper, chop your Steamed Broccoli into TINY pieces.

Sprinkle a little of the chopped steamed Broccoli onto the thin layer of mashed potatoes.

Carefully roll each chicken breast up securing ends with toothpicks.

Using either bowl or the Pampered Chef Coating Trays and Tool

Place flour, salt and pepper into a bowl. (or the 1st of the trays if using the Pampered Chef Coating Trays and Tool)


Place beaten egg in a second bowl (or the 2nd of the trays if using the Pampered Chef Coating Trays and Tool)

Place the bread crumbs and ranch mix into a 3rd shallow bowl. (or the 3rd of the trays if using the Pampered Chef Coating Trays and Tool)


Dip and roll the rolled chicken into flour, then egg, then bread crumb mixture. Be gentle so that all of your filling doesn't fall out.

Place Chicken rolls seam side down into the Deep Dish Covered Baker and cook for a total of 25 minutes.

After 15 minutes has passed, remove the Deep Dish Covered Baker from the microwave and sprinkle the chicken with the cheese. Return to the Microwave and cook for the remaining 10 minutes!
