In a medium to small bowl, add butter that has been melted in the microwave for 15-30 seconds, add the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, shredded three cheese blend, a touch of garlic powder and onion powder mix.
Place the cream of mushroom soup in a pot or pan, add 1 1/2 cup water and 1 tsp chicken flavored powder of bullion cub, stir let come to a boil. Add the corn starch slowly whisking until thick and boiling about the consistency of pudding.
Take your mallet and pound out the chicken to about 1/2 inch thick, it may break apart but that is OK. Cut chicken into 4 – 6 pieces
Spray the baking dish with olive oil, or vegetable oil, or coat with cooking oil.
Place your chicken one at a time in dish, add about 1 tablespoon of the breadcrumb mix to the center, add the broccoli and mushrooms and onions to center, depending on how large your chicken is you can decide on how much filling.
Fold the Chicken over, place tooth pick in chicken to hold.
