  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 33 minute

Ingredients

– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 cup chopped broccoli (fresh or frozen)
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– ½ cup cream cheese, softened
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– ½ teaspoon onion powder
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– ¼ cup breadcrumbs (optional, for topping)


Instructions

Making Broccoli Cheese Stuffed Chicken Breast is simple when you follow these steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine chopped broccoli, shredded cheddar cheese, cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
3. Prepare Chicken: Take each chicken breast and make a pocket by slicing horizontally through the thickest part of the breast. Be careful not to cut all the way through.
4. Stuff Chicken: Generously fill each chicken breast pocket with the broccoli and cheese mixture, using toothpicks to secure if necessary.
5. Season Chicken: Rub the outside of each stuffed chicken breast with olive oil, paprika, salt, and pepper.
6. Bake: Place the stuffed chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
7. Rest: Once cooked, allow the chicken breasts to rest for 5-10 minutes before removing toothpicks and slicing for serving.

By following these clear and concise steps, you will create an incredible meal that your whole family will enjoy.
