Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Blanch the broccoli in boiling, salted water for 3 min.; drain and rinse under cold running water. Reserve.
Step 2
Pound the chicken to an even thickness (about 1/2-in./1 cm). Arrange on a foil-lined baking sheet and season with salt and pepper.

Combine dressing and mustard and stir in the broccoli, green onion and 1/2 cup (125 ml) of the cheese. Spread an equal portion of the mixture evenly onto each chicken breast. Bake for 15 to 17 min.

Broil for 1 to 2 min. or until nuts are lightly browned and cheese is bubbly.
