In a small bowl, microwave 1½ cups (225 g) of the finely chopped broccoli for 1 minute until slightly softened. Add the shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and softened cream cheese to the microwaved broccoli. Mix thoroughly until well combined. Set aside.
Prepare the Chicken:
Butterfly the chicken breasts by slicing them in half horizontally to create 6 thin chicken cutlets. Cover each cutlet with plastic wrap and gently pound with a rolling pin or heavy pan to tenderize. Remove the wrap and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Roll the Chicken:
Place a generous scoop of the broccoli cheddar mixture onto each chicken cutlet and spread it evenly. Starting from the tapered end, carefully roll up each cutlet, securing tightly with 2 toothpicks. Repeat with remaining cutlets.
Preheat and Prepare Coating:
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a resealable plastic bag, crush the cheddar crackers until they have a coarse, sand-like texture. Transfer to a bowl and mix in the remaining chopped broccoli.
Coat the Chicken Rolls:
Set up a breading station with three bowls: one for flour, one for whisked eggs, and one for the broccoli-cheddar cracker crumb mixture. Dip each chicken roll in flour, shaking off excess, then in the eggs, and finally roll in the cracker crumbs until fully coated. Repeat for all rolls.
Bake to Perfection:
Place the coated chicken rolls on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden and crispy. Let cool slightly, then remove toothpicks.
Serve:
Slice the rollups if desired, and serve hot. Enjoy the delicious combination of creamy broccoli cheddar filling and crispy cheddar cracker coating!
