In a small bowl, combine egg, water and a little salt and beat with a fork; set aside. Fill a second bowl with breadcrumbs.
If the chicken isn’t 1/4-inch thin, pound it thin with wax paper and a mallet.
Season both sides of the chicken with 1/2 teaspoon salt.
Place a 1/2 slice cheese in the center of the chicken and top with 2 tablespoons broccoli.
Roll the chicken around to completely cover cheese, using toothpicks to secure the ends, if needed.
Dip chicken into egg wash, then breadcrumbs and transfer to a sheet pan.
Spray both sides of the chicken with oil and bake about 25 minutes, until cooked. Remove toothpicks and eat.
