Chicken envelopes with broccoli and cheese

6 servings

60 minutes

Chicken envelopes with broccoli and cheese are a refined dish of European cuisine that combines the tenderness of chicken fillet, the creaminess of cottage cheese, and the freshness of broccoli. The history of such recipes dates back to traditional meat stuffing techniques that added special juiciness and flavor complexity to the dish. Spicy notes of garlic and Provençal herbs make the envelopes aromatic, while mozzarella adds a stretchy texture. This dish is perfect for both family dinners and festive tables – it is not only nutritious but also looks beautiful. Baking in the oven makes the chicken fillet soft and juicy while broccoli retains its freshness and slight crunchiness. Chicken envelopes can be served with light side dishes or creamy sauce for additional flavor enjoyment.
