30 mininutes Quick Chicken Rolls

My son's preschool had a classroom party recently and I was supposed to bring in a main dish. A several recipes had come across my mind. I knew I had to make it kids friendly, healthy and easy to be served. I had some frozen chicken in a freezer and big bag of carrots/broccoli, so here it is my latest creation. You can use asparagus, green beans to add colors inside along with carrots too. H'orderves or main dish, you can make it any way you like!!

Ingredients (6 servings)

• 4 Chicken breast (or thighs-->no need to butterfly, just pound with a mallet)
• 2 carrots, cut lengthwise
• 28 broccoli florets, boiled or steamed
• 1 cup soysauce
• salt and pepper
  
• flour
• kitchen twine or unwaxed dental floss
• oil
  

Direction:

1. Butterfly chicken.**
   
2. Cover a cutting board with a plastic wrap and place chicken, cover chicken with another plastic wrap on top. Using a meat mallet, gently pound chicken to approx 1/4-1/8 inch thickness.
   
3. Salt and pepper the chicken
   
4. Place 2-3 pieces of carrots in the center and roll up the chicken. Secure it with kitchen twine or unwaxed dental floss (yes this will really work!)
5. In a shallow pan, place chicken and pour soy sauce. Marinade for 10-15 min
6. Pat dry chicken with paper towels and dust lightly with flour
7. Heat oil in a pan and brown the roll until lightly brown (this will add crust for outside)
   
8. Let it rest for a couple of minute
9. Slice and serve each piece with broccoli securing with tooth pick

**To butterfly a chicken breast:

1. Cut the piece of chicken horizontally parallel to the cutting board or surface as follows:
2. Starting from the thickest part of the chicken breast, carefully slice the chicken breast almost completely in half, stopping at a 1/4" from the other side.
3. Open the chicken breast like opening a book.
