Ingredients
– 500 g broccoli
– 4 chicken breasts
– 2 green onions

1. Wash the broccoli and boil it in salty water for 3 minutes. Rinse it with cold water.
2. Chop the broccoli and the onions, and mix them with the basil, the cheese, the egg yolks and the bread crumbs. Add salt and pepper.
3. Cut the chicken breasts into halves so they can be stuffed with the broccoli mixture. Fasten the breasts with toothpicks after you stuff them.
